Re: reading a Microsoft excel sheet letter by letter
Gene
I never use NVDA up arrow; I find it much more convenient to use numpad
8. So I had forgotten that command. As far as NVDA up arrow is
concerned, it is much better to be in object review if you are going to use
it. It is more reliable because by default, NVDA will always move to the
object you move to.

NVDA+up arrow in laptop keyboard layout is the command to move to the
previous line with the review cursor.
Up arrow on the number pad is numpad 8, which reads the current line in
review which, if the review cursor hasn't moved from the current location,
should work similar to NVDA+up arrow in desktop layout or NVDA+L in laptop
layout.

Re: A problem with an SD card in a VR Trek

/f Fixes errors on the disk. /R Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information.
If your SD card has a drive letter of E, you would type the following in command prompt: chkdsk /f /r e:

Ok, I can find command prompt, but it has been a long while since I have used it. You said to type: chkdsk /f /r e: I totally get the chkdsk, which is to check disk but now to understand the rest.since my drive is the E drive, I assume that I change the /f to, /e? Then what is the /r e: for? And lastly, do I leave all the spaces in there as you have them? Thanks for any help.

Hi,

I've never seen a text alert like that I just find text alerts for all movement for a package. Admittedly I haven't played with account settings in a while. Have you tried signing in via the UPS app on an iDevice perhaps it'll be friendlier. Have you tried different browsers? Sorry I can't be of more help. I do know there's an area under your profile to specify location for where to leave packages as to whether they always comply with that is still up in the air but at least it's notated. Sorry I can't be of more help. Their site isn't the easiest or most intuitive but then neither is the US post office so there's that. Now that you have a my choice account perhaps calling into UPS might yield more help? Robin

latest firefox and notifications
heather albright
Hello, I am trying the latest firefox. I set all my settings however, everytime I open firefox, it tells me I have to change 2 extensions in private windows. Does anyone know why it keeps telling me this? I keep going threw the settings and cant find which 2 extensions I need to change; the notification does not tell me exactly where to go. Thanks Heather

My understanding is that some computer manufacturers use their software for certain functions and that the Windows software may not support the functions or may not be available or may have to be configured. We'll see what others say. I don't know enough about the subject to do other than say that I don't think it is a good idea to just delete things without knowing what they do, if the computer is currently using any of them for any function you want, such as your wireless connections, and how you get Windows to take over any functions you might lose.
Just in general, some, perhaps many people, delete things just because they don't want them. I very strongly believe that things shouldn't be deleted unless you know what they are and that you will never need or want them.
