Hi Steve,

It now appears that something in a recent Microsoft 8.1 update kills NVDA
for all browsers.

Are you sure you are not starting out in an edit box?  Try pressing the NVDA
key with Space.  It is like JAWS or Window-Eyes in that if it is on a field
that must be interacted with outside of browse mode or the virtual cursor,
it turns that function off.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
