Is any one had the following browser problem with nvda?

hi guys


I had a person contact me about the following problem below.


I gave them a few suggestions to sus out first. One making sure there version of nvda is up to date and they do not have any add ons. They are using the chrome browser as well.


I got them to check also the time on the computer to see if it is still keeping time etc just in case it was causing problems with the time stamp with the browser and throwing up this problem.


Has any one else had this problem below? I have also got them to change there level to debug under general but it seems it only happens with a update of "Windows.


If you did have this problem how did you fix it?


Both my friend and I are visually impaired, so we still use a mouse with NVDA, my system is working very well but what is happening with my friend Karen’s on her laptop is every time Microsoft do a major upgrade her NVDA stops working.
when she tries loading a page off Google Chrome NVDA responds by saying Chrome legacy error and when she puts the mouse pointer over text it says null and will not read it.
The only way to fix this problem has been to totally remove NVDA and reinstall it and this works successfully each time
Her laptop is an Acer aspire, approximately 6 years old  end running windows 10 and Google Chrome browser.
I have tried changing the default browser to Edge but with the same results.

In an elevated command prompt . . .
Try running an:  SFC /scannow
then follow that with a:  DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Then see what happens afterward.

I don't know if there is a solution. However, you can avoid starting with default settings if you remove and reinstall NVDA. Make a portable copy from the installed NVDA before updating Windows. Then, after the update, uninstall NVDA, run the portable version, and install NVDA using the install option in the portable version.

If you need more information about the create portable and install options, ask. They are in the Tools menu. When you run either option, tab through the first screen and check the checkbox for copying the current configuration, or whatever is the applicable wording for what you are doing.

Have you tried the COM Registration Fixing tool, followed by a reboot, instead of reinstalling NVDA?

Hi Luke


yes that was one of the things I got him to do as well. It should not be clobbering nvda when there is a windows update so what was mentioned happened. he also said he knows of other people using chrome and nvda but no problems when it updates windows they do not have to re install nvda.


Thanks Brian I will pass on that suggestion to him as well and also thanks to the other gene for the idea but it should not have to be done hopefully but may be on the cards.


I have never come across that type of problem and have been using nvda for years and not heard of others either having this problem.

Hi Brian,

 

What is an elevated command prompt?  Thanks,

It is an instance of Command Prompt being run with administrative privileges.  This is a frequently used term, which is why I use it, and yours is a frequent question from those encountering it for the first time.  But when you see it elsewhere, whether in reference to Command Prompt or PowerShell, it means you've opened it with "Run as Admin" selected.  The window frame for the session itself should have "Administrator: " in the title before either Command Prompt or PowerShell, depending on which you're using.

Remember, that even if you are using an account with administrative privileges, neither Command Prompt or Power Shell will open with those active unless you specifically invoke them with Admin privilege.

If you hit WinKey+X, then down arrow or up arrow to the entry for Command Prompt or PowerShell, there will be two entries, one with "(Admin)" next to the name and that's the one that opens an elevated session.  The one where it's not present gives you more typical user privileges, not full admin privileges, for that session.

Might I also say that if you invoke the run dialog (windows key + r)
then type cmd & press *control+enter* as opposed to just enter alone,
you'll also get an administrative (elevated) command prompt.

Jackie, at least in 20H2, that no longer seems to work. I noticed it in passing last week, and just checked again per your comment.

I thought it was control shift enter on a program to run as admin, unless I misread instructions, which very well could have happened.

Actually, Sarah, I think that's right, & I apologize for omitting the
shift part.

Chris, invoke the run dialog. Type cmd then hit control shift enter.
You'll get a UAC popup, to which you'll need to answer yes (alt y) to
get the elevated command prompt. Once that's done, if you press insert
t, you'll hear something similar, if not identical to, "administrator
c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe."

A regular user command prompt will launch in your home directory.

C:\Users\YourUserName>

The elevated prompt will launch in something like:

C:\Windows\System32>

Just press enter after the prompt launches, and you'll hear what directory you're in as part of the prompt.

Also, an elevated one should hit you with a UAC dialog before it starts.

Greg Epley <greg.epley64@...>
 

Far less keystrokes and not having to remember whether one needs Ctrl and/or Shift with Enter is WindowsKey+X to pop open the Start menu, followed by "A" as in "Admin", then Alt+Y to respond Yes to the UAC prompt. The resulting window title says "Administrator:" to indicate you're in an elevated command window. This will work unless one has perhaps configured their Start menu to show more items than I prefer; I deliberately keep mine as bare bones as possible since I prefer other shortcut methods to launch items. I use the same Start menu shortcut key and single letters to perform restarts, shutdowns or other common operations with less keystrokes. The specific letters one needs should be spoken by most screen readers unless the screen reader has been set not to report such aids, which would only be advisable for very advanced Windows users.
