Hi Chris,
Thank you so much for your help. I've deleted the folder and, after
turning
the computer on again later yesterday, I think I might have finally
fixed (or at least greatly reduced) the problem, though it did
say "desktop" a little while after I had been at the computer (and in
the middle of an email, not on the desktop). I did also move the mouse
from the desk
and put it on top of the computer, just in case that was causing the
problem too. Later I ran CCleaner and I haven't noticed the problem
today. But what I was wondering is, what settings are deleted when I
delete that NVDA folder in the %appdata% folder? When I restart
Windows/NVDA, I notice, for instance, that NVDA is still echoing all
punctuation, which I was happy to leave on and obviously I can easily
change it in the NVDA preferences, but I'm just wondering if that would
normally be retained when the NVDA folder is deleted?
Regards
Vivien

Hi.
What you do is delete the NVDA from your %appdata% folder. That is, type
%appdata% into the run dialogue box, press enter, and delete the folder
entitled NVDA. You will lose your settings, but it should solve your
problem.
Take care.

Hi Chris,
I don't have a mouse pad, and I haven't been touching the mouse either,
though I was thinking maybe it was something to do with the mouse. When
you suggested about deleting the NVDA folder from my profile, do you
mean just the folder which is installed within the hard drive? (I can't
remember the whole path, but the installation gives you the option to
browse and select somewhere else to put it, but I've always left it set
as it is.) I wasn't aware the release candidate had come out, so thanks
for letting me know that too.
Regards
Vivien

Hi.
Are you touching the mouse pad if you have one by accident? Did you
try deleting the NVDA folder from your profile? Also to note the RC
(release candidate) version of 2011.1 is out, so you may want to
install that to see if it fixed. Doubt it but worth a shot.
Take care.

Hi list,
I've been noticing lately that NVDA, for no apparent reason, says
things
like "system", "desktop", "recycle bin" etc, even though I'm doing
something which is unrelated to the above - eg reading or writing an
email, reading a webpage etc. (It just said "system" right now, out
of
the blue.) I recently installed version 2011.1 beta 2 on the
suggestion
of someone else, but the problem hasn't been fixed, and I've now
uninstalled it and gone back to 2010.2. I was also using BRLTTY (the
Windows version), so that I could use my BrailleNote as a Braille
display with NVDA, but I was getting even more unstable and eratic
behaviour, so I uninstalled BRLTTY. I also uninstalled JAWS
9.0.2169U,
which I had on the same computer (I only have the one and am running
Windows XP). I have also run CCleaner (the version prior to the
latest
one), but still haven't fixed the problem. Anyone have any ideas as
to
why this might be happening?

Vivien
