Unable to install NVDA on Windows Vista laptop
Jessica Finch <JFinch697@...>
I recently downloaded NVDA and attempted to run the
install. The install program did not run. I attempted again but it still did not
run. This laptop is running Windows Vista. I have installed other programs from
this account.
Any suggestions on what I can do to install
NVDA?
Thanks, Paul on behalf of Jessica

1. is user account control turned on? if so, does it come up? 2. what anti-virus program do you have? it maybe be blocking the download or the running of the file. for example, if you have internet explorer and smart screen filter is on, it will likely prevent the file from opening unless you explicitly allow it. does the installer come up? if not, what happens when you try and run the file. write privately if you want. btw, on vista, anything less than service pack 2 will give you odd results I suspect.

There is a known issue with the NVDA installer and Windows Vista. The solution is usually to make sure that all updates from Windows Update are installed before attempting to install NVDA. Hope that helps.

Hi there: Do you have all your vista windows updates? How old is your laptop? If it’s a 2008 or 9 build I don’t know if it makes a difference. I wonder if Microsoft is not supporting vista no more. You may have to upgrade it to 7. I had a friend who still has her vista laptop. She got it in 2008 just before new years. Her computer goo roo updated it to 7. It runs better. Just a thought. If your vista laptop can handle 7 then you may have to upgrade to 7.

You have 2 years after that on 7. And after that another 2 on 8.1 Windows 10 expires a year or so after that. So it says currently.

Hi list
As far as I know Vista is not supported anymore. What I know about Vista is that it was discontinued almost as soon as it was released. Apparrently not a huge success. My suggestion is that you should install Windows 7, or any later release like Windows 10.
Regards
