[nvda] Re: Still can not use NVDA virtual buffers

Hi Mike and all,
Please note that you cannot run NVDA and Firefox as different users; they must be run as the same user. This means that if you run Firefox as administrator, you must also run NVDA as administrator. So you can run NVDA as a non-privileged user under Vista, but if you do, you must also run Firefox as a non-privileged user. This should be your standard configuration anyway. Note that when setup programs start a program after installation, they often start it as administrator, so this can cause problems.
I suspect that at least one of your tests involved running both programs as the same user, so I'm at a loss as to what to suggest right now. Frustratingly, we cannot reproduce these issues.

Hello all,

This morning I did more tests on NVDA's virtual buffers. I am running
windows vista ultimate with NVDA snapshot R1859. The version of firefox
I'm using is firefox3.0 beta4.

I tested this with uac turned on and off. With uac turned off when I ran
firefox with NVDA, it would crash firefox. I loaded jaws and found the
standard message firefox has stopped working. I closed the program and
got the NVDA error sound. I then turned uac back on and ran firefox as
an administrator. NVDA just said pain but the virtual buffers wouldn't
load. Tabbing arround would just result in pain being spoken. Running
firefox as a normal user produced the same results mentioned above. I'm
attaching for the developers my nvda.log file in hopes that we can get
this sorted. Hope this helps,

Mike
Haven't tried running NVDA and firefox as administrator, only ran them as normal users with the same results. I'll test and see if that helps.
