Hi Alex, Just to update you, I installed NVDA last night and managed to get the Eloquence plugin installed. I'm good to go if I need a backup screen reader. Thanks for your advise. Eileen On Sep 2, 2014, at 2:24 PM, Alex Hall wrote: > All I'll say here is to keep NVDA installed, and make

Hi Grant and Alex, In that case, I think I can spare the real estate to have it installed on the desktop. When I partitioned the HD in bootcamp, I thought I gave myself plenty of storage on the Win side, but it turned out to be much less. I'm constantly looking to see how to keep this side lea

The installer I downloaded the other day was around 17MB, compared to well over 100MB for Jaws. I don't know how big it expands to be, but yes, it is a very small size, all things considered. On Sep 2, 2014, at 7:28 PM, Grant Hardy wrote: > Hello, > > I don't remember the exact size but it is

All I'll say here is to keep NVDA installed, and make sure you can bring it up. It won't help you if you have to re-install Windows (and, as Grant said, there's no reason you would need to do that), but if Jaws gets fussy and quits on you, NVDA will at least be sure you aren't without speech unt

In general when installing an upgrade to Os X, I would see no reason why you should have to reinstall Windows as long as you aren't using a non-standard disk partition configuration on your Mac (e.g. you manually modified the partition configuration after installing Windows via Boot Camp). I don

Hello, I decided to start a new thread, so I don't get OT with this. Here's my situation and my concerns that I may need to update the bootcamp drivers in the future. Although I have a 2013 MBA, I purchased it before Mavericks was released. Hence, My OS is ML. I did update and ran the current
