I just discovered that I cannot use the upgrade
with Outlook Express. When I open an email I can only tab around. I cannot read
what is there nor if I press ctrl+r to reply I cannot type.

Outlook Express has been out of support for many years now. There is going to be no attempt, years after something goes out of support, for any contemporary software (NVDA, in this case) to maintain backward compatibility with it. And, before this starts a firestorm about Outlook Express and the love for it and the demand that it should be able to be used, I refer you to the group rule: The discussion of software on the NVDA Group is limited to software currently in support. Depending on the type of software, specific version numbers will change with time. Users are expected to know what remains in support and what has been dropped, and announcements will be made to this group when new versions of NVDA are released. It should be assumed that, when a new version of software is released, primary discussion will take place on that version, not versions of software which are years old. Outlook Express is no longer currently in support, so it will not be a valid topic for discussion on this group. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 It’s hard waking up and realizing it’s not always black and white. ~ Kelley Boorn

I don't know why that is. If you can still use an older version, there will, I'm sure, be no solution forthcoming, unless someone wants to create an add-on, if an add-on can solve the problem.

Outlook Express has not been supported since whenever Windows XP went out of support. I think that was roughly six years ago. You may have to do something like use a portable version of an earlier NVDA for Outlook Express and switch to the installed version for general work if you want to use this version as your general version.

+1 to what Gene said - try rebooting, and then do let us know if it works or not. While Outlook Express is quite old, I'm not aware of having specifically broken support for it. Kind regards Quentin.
