Comment 3 by jteh on 2010-09-23 01:43 We really need to know whether this happened in 2010.1. A couple of other users have reported that they can't reproduce this. I've also tested it on one machine here and can't reproduce it. Unfortunately, until we can find a developer who can reproduce it, there's nothing we can do. |
Comment 4 by elliott94 on 2011-04-05 18:46 I realise that this is an old ticket, however I thought it necessary to bring up this issue once again. I've been experimenting a little more, and unfortunately, even with the latest snapshots, this behaviour can still be seen. This is on a clean install of XP. Task Manager can be opened (my sound scheme confirms this), however no speech interaction is possible. This unfortunately means that I'm unable to provide a log - can you think of any other way that I can obtain information that may be able to help? This issue has become so bad that I've actually had to switch to Narrator to make ajustments. I've tried a combonation of the Space and Enter keys on the button, even resorting to using navigation commands to click the button, with the same result. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help, and I'll be more than happy. :) |
This is XP only, and XP specific issues won't be fixed any more unless really critical. Closing |

I saw this behaviour on another machine a couple of months ago, but now I've seen it on my netbook as well.
When using the Wireless 0 Configuration Service that's built-in to Windows XP and you view your list of prefered wireless networks, NVDA appears to crash Windows, and the only way that I've found to get control back is to do a hard restart.
I'm unable to attach a log; I've not able to obtain one before Windows crashes.
Keystrokes such as alt-tabbing don't work, however you can still use NVDA keystrokes to read the time status, etc.
Steps to repro:
At this point NVDA and Windows should crash.
It should also be noted that this behaviour can't always be seen, but nine times out of ten Windows will crash.
Using XP with SP3.
This doesn't happen under Windows 7, and I can't remember if it happened in 2010.1.
