[gui-talk] having trouble using some of the newer web pages

[Dan Weirich]

Beth,

David's comments are spot on.  If you are using an older machine with an older web browser on a new web site, having problems would be expected.  In addition, Window-Eyes 7.5 was released in the spring of 2005.  Just like the operating system and browser, it is likely some of your problems stem from using a 10 year old version of Window-Eyes.

Best Regards,
Dan

Beth,
I have some questions regarding your situation. First, would you tell us what version of Windows you're using and which browser you're using to access the Web, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc. Also, could you give us some specific examples of Web pages that are not working as you expect them to work? What are the specific things that you are experiencing?
As an example, are certain buttons or edit fields not being read properly? Are certain links not activating? This type of information will help me to help you.

Recently, I've been having a lot of trouble interacting with some of the newer web pages, as in, shopping sites. I have trouble reading the pages and filling out the forms--edit boxes, combo boxes, etc. In the past, when this hapened, I would just switch over to the latest verion of the NVDA screen reader, and that would solve the problem. Now, for some reason, even that doesn't seem to work any more. Is anybody else having similar problems" If not, how are people navigating around the newer web pages? Is getting a new computer with Windows 10 the best solution" Thanks for any suggestions.
