Problems with Windows 7 Ease of Use Magnifier & Narrator

I am legally blind and need Windows 7 Ease of Use programs to use the computer.  However, I have been having problems with both the narrator and the magnifier.  I have Home Premium running on i5-3317u with integrated graphics and 6gb ram.
Q1:  Magnifier has options to follow the keyboard focus and the text insertion point.  However, in my case, it will only follow the mouse pointer.  It will not follow the keyboard insertion point.  I want magnifier to follow the mouse
pointer, the keyboard focus, and the keyboard insertion point.  How can I get them all to work properly?
Q2:  I cannot get narrator to read documents, whether I use notepad, MS Word, or third party software.  Also, I cannot control narrator with the keyboard controls.  How can I fix these problems?
Thank you for your time

Hi,
This may occur if there are some corrupt system files on the computer. I would suggest that you run a SFC scan which would scan for corrupt system files on the computer and replace them
How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7

If the above step fails then check if the issue persists in a new user account

Please also update your sound card and display card.
Meanwhile, I suggest changing  Resolution settings for testing the issue.

  • I am having a problem with Windows Fusion installed on a MacBook.

    I am having a problem with Windows Fusion installed on a MacBook OS 10.  When attempting to use a Browser, (either IE, or Chrome), under Windows Fusion, I cannot browse to ANY page except Gmail.com.
    I checked all security settings, and found no problem. Neither browser will allow me to do ANYTHING other than go to Gmail.com!!!
    I am not sure if I have some virus on my Windows side, because Google and Safari both work perfectly on my Apple side, just not when running Windows Fusion.
    Is there some setting I am missing, or do you think I have malware/virus issues?? My Internet connection is DEFINITELY working fine - I can send, receive, open, and close all my email on Gmail only, and can navigate freely on Gmail, but cannot get to any other site even hyperlinked to Gmail.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you very much.

    If you've already tried my previous suggestions, it may be that something has tampered with the DNS settings in your Windows VM, which might bypass the settings your Mac uses. Assuming you're using Windows 8, these instructions explain how to check and change the DNS settings. There's also a link in those instructions listing a variety of suggested DNS settings. If you do try changing the settings, record what the settings currently are in case you want to return to them.

  • Problem with Windows Media Player since installing Firefox 4.0

    Problems with Window Media Player. When I am using Windows Media Player to view a video from another source I am having problems. When I hit pause and then go back to hit play it does not have any sound. The player is not on mute and it keeps going from pause to play with no sound most times. Please help. Thank-you. I have Windows Vista programs.

    What can I do to get the Windows Media Player to work properly?

  • Problems with Windows VISTA and WPA-2

    Hi Guys,
    I am using a Linksys router supporting draft-N; it seems that after some time of usage; Windows Vista stop being able to connect to Linksys using a WPA-2 PSK.
    Everytime you search for the SSID and attempt to connect, the ''network is taking too long to connect''' and Windows always informs the user that ''limited or no connectivity'' even though the signal strength is excellent.
    Is that a common problem in Windows Visa (I am using Home Edition)?

    Yes thats the basica command problem with Windows Vista while connecting to the Wireless Network.... In this you can need to update your Windows Vista OS with all the Latest Patches and the Service Pack to improve more stability on your Vista Computer to get connected to the Wireless Network..

  • Problems with Windows 7 home premium and ovi

    Excuse me for my english.
    I've a big problem with Windows 7 and NOKIA N97 32G
    I install the latest version of Nokia Ovi Suite 2.0.2.42. When I connect the phone with USB and select PC suite mode in the phone, OVI don't see the phone and say method not compatible.
    I can't synchronize the phone.
    Help me.
    Thanks

    I just want to say that many Nokia Ovi Suite problems have showed up for me recently. I tried everything (including many reinstalls, cleans, etc.) and nothing helped.
    Finally I found the solution:
    I realized that I have installed Service Pack 1 on Windows 7 (32-bit), and this stopped Ovi Suite from working correctly. The solution is to run Ovi Suite in compatibility mode as "Windows 7"
    (You may be surprised to run an application in "Windows 7" compatibility mode on Windows 7. But after installing Service Pack, it is no longer "Windows 7" but it is now "Windows 7 SP1"! This is different. So "Windows 7" is the old mode without the service pack, and in this old mode Ovi Suite works.)
    Concluding: After installing Service Pack 1 just use compatibility mode as "Windows 7" to run Ovi Suite, and this program should work OK (at least for me it works on a 32-bit OS).
    PS. My version of Ovi Suite is 3.0.0.290

  • Premiere Elements cause problems with Windows Media Center while streaming to TV.

    I was having the following problem:
    The audio from the streaming process of a recorded TV show on my HP computer to the remote receivers, a Sony Blu-ray player and/or a Sony Streaming Player, results in the loss of audio signal at exactly 30 seconds from the beginning on either devices. The video continues on as normal.
    A user on the Windows 7 forum had the following possible cause and solution.  His response was as follows:
    I "solved" my issue, at least partially. Turns out for me a codec installed by Adobe Premiere Elements for audio (Main Concept) was causing mfpmp.exe to fail (you should see it getting an appcrash in the event log two or three times as soon as you start playing the media remotely.) This program is used by microsoft for DRM. I went through and one by one remained the various attached (non-microsoft) modules until i found the one that caused the appcrash. I haven't fully figured out if Elements is now negatively effected, but that's for a different forum.
    I tried the quick fix by un-installing Adobe Premiere Elements.  The uninstall solved my problem with Windows Media Center, but I want to re-install the software but I do not want to recreate the problem with Windows Media Center.
    Is there another solution for this problem?

    I reinstalled Adobe Premiere Elements 10 and the above mention problem reoccured.  With a little detective work I was able to determine that the file causing my problem was "mc_dec_dd_ds.ax".  I am not sure what this does to Adobe Premiere Elements 10 since I removed (renamed) the offending file.  A strange side affect, renaming the file did cause an increase volume. Strange.  

  • I installed lv 6.1 on a windows 98 system. As I am having problems of stability (much more than with the former release 6.0), I would like to know if there is some specific problem with windows 98 or there is some patch.

    I installed lv 6.1 on a windows 98 system. As I am having problems of stability (frequent crashes, much more than with the former release 6.0), I would like to know if there is some specific problem with windows 98 or there is some patch available.

    My experience with Win98 is that it is not a very stable system, regardless of software used. For example, Win2000 and XP are far more stable than 98. I've had it crash on its own if I leave the computer on for several days.
    I wouldn't recommend running programs for long time (few days) on this OS.
    This being said, can you be more specific in your question. What kind of stability problems did you have, which VIs did you run (if possible post them here), did you change the interrupts and priority levels on those VI, do you get error messages or blue screen....

  • 6 Problems with windows 8.1

    Hello,
    first sorry for my bad English. I have problems with windows 8.1 and it really annoying me.
    1) I can't change lock screen picture. It freezing for 2-3 seconds when I'm trying to change it and nothing happened.
    2) I can't browser files from metro apps. It crash and restart.
    3) Picture password doesn't work with me. The windows freeze.
    4) Facebook app disappeared and if I try to install it. It disappear again.
    5) Task manager sometimes freezes for 6-7 seconds when I close it.
    6) Randomly when I am using the PC, it will blue screen with usually the following error : Driver_IRQL_Not_Less_or_Equal

    Hi,
    Did your system activated? The lockscreen picture problem probably caused by activation problem. For other problem, it is probably driver problem. You can try to reinstall computer driver for test.
    In addition, If you installed any security software, please try uninstall them for test.

  • Iphone 3GS - windows 7 - syncing problems with windows live mail

    I brought a new iphone 3gs last week and tried to sync it with my new dell PC running windows 7 (with windows live mail).
    It wouldnt sync, so I read the forums and reset the sync history through itunes.
    This worked, and synced my iphone to the computer. It appears to have backed up all my contacts on the iphone to somewhere on the PC (cant find where) but it hasnt copied the contacts from windows live mail to the iphone
    Have I confused anyone??

  • Problem with windows not liking any files named prn

    I recently found a problem with windows not liking any files
    called prn.html, prn.cfm etc etc. If you try and create a file like
    prn.html then it will say "File already exists".
    I initially thought it was a Cold Fusion error as I was
    getting some bizarre error messages when trying to write prn.html
    using cffile.
    Does anyone know a work around for it?

    Hi,
    Not only "prn" but also for the terms like "AUX", "NUL" you
    can't create any directories or files in Windows because these are
    reserved terms with Windows which is meant for some device
    drivers...

  • Problem with windows installer

    problem with windows installer. cannot download 10.5

    It is from trying to use 64-bit versions on Macs that have old out of date EFI32 and don't support Windows 64-bit.
    Select CD-ROM Boot Type Error...: Apple Support Communities

    You have to either use 32-bit version or modify the DVD which means making a new ISO and reburning with changes, usually using Windows in a VM.

    Driver problems with Windows Professional XP 64bit Edition

    Well, after looking around the forum here I found an answer that works! I wish I could remember who to give credit too though. I installed the latest Vista drivers and I got static all the time. I tried another members suggestion of disabling the X-Fi device in the Device manager every time I log off and then enable the X-Fi the next time I log in. I have great sound as long as I do that. Also, for connecting to a home system I am using the DTS-60, $00 on this website, but it works well if you havea DTS decoder. I am using the X-Fi extreme Music edition. Good Luck, hopefully another driver is on the way.
