NVDA Startup

One thing to check is whether NVDA is running but you aren't getting
speech. When a screen-reader stops speaking, with no other
information, it can't be assumed if the screen=-reader has stopped
or if the synthesizer has stopped working.

Run narrator, control Windows key enter, that is hold both control and enter and press enter. Once it is running, run NVDA. After it should be running, try opening the NVDA menu with numpad insert n. Does the NVDA menu open? If so, the problem may be with the synthesizer or synthesizer settings in some way. Close the menu with escape, then Open the speech dialog using control NVDA key v. Tab around to volume and see what it is. Raise it if necessary, then actavate the ok button. If there is nothing to change activate cancel. Then open the synthesizer dialog with control NVDA key s. You will be in a combo box. Select a synthesizer, try e-speak. Move to it and press enter. Do you now have speech from both screen-readers? I said to try e-speak assuming you weren't using it already. If you already are, try something else like the one core voices. Gene On 8/12/2022 6:30 AM, Howard Traxler

Yes, I do have NVDA installed and set to start on boot.. It started the first time I tried but doesn't any more. So, I must revert to a portable version. I must have something set wrong. That shortcut shuts down the portable version and nothing else happens. I'll try that shortcut while jaws is running and see what happens.

start-up, then it should work. I am aware that on some machines it can take a significant time, and if the sound drivers do not load first, then nvda seems to not speak, since the log shows it has found no sound device. It does not depend on the desktop shortcut to run, but inserts itself into the windows start up queue. Do you hear anything working sound wise?. I guess you might wish to launch a portable copy after start up and see whether it works. I assume it does from your comment. So if you shut down the portable copy and use the keyboard shortcut to start the installed one, does it give the rising tones etc and other sounds, and then just not speak?. This indicates it did not find the hardware on start up at windows start up and set it to silence. So I really cannot think of any other reason not mentioned already in this thread.

Try to start it, as Gene suggested, then, when it fails, attach the file at %temp%\nvda.log to an email to me directly (luke@...). You're not able to send it to the list directly, or I'd just suggest you do that. Luke |

Your desktop shortcut is for an installed copy of NVDA.
If you are trying to run a portable version, that shortcut will not work. Do you have NVDA installed? |

I'm not sure what the problem is. I think the first thing to do is
to uninstall, then reinstall the program.

You can test in that way if the program can run. Gene On 8/11/2022 11:58 PM, Howard Traxler

After installation, NVDA won't start. Wondering, does starting depend on the desktop shortcut? If so, I don't understand the command shown in the shortcut properties:
C:\Program Files (x86)\NVDA\nvda_slave.exe" launchNVDA -r Maybe by changing this start command I can make it start normally? Your thoughts? Thanks. Howard |
