[RWP] Windoweyes Still Can't Run Reaper 64

[Indigo]

A while back; just to understand if; and how; it could be done, I 
installed a fresh copy of Reaper 4X plus ReaAccess, then assigned  the 
audio and midi interface settings, plus tried as many usual actions as I 
could think of, all with NVDA, and found work arounds for everything.
The part that concerned me was getting the midi portss enabled, which ; 
when I did them in Wineyes and Jaws; required Wineyes mouse pointer/jaws 
PC cursor moves at the numPad, but a little experimentation with NVDA 
+flat review, move to focus, move navigator object to mouse, and I got 
all midi ports enabled with NVDA.
I don't remember trying NVDA in Reaper's IO dialog, but I can't think of 
anything in there that NVDA can't accomplish.
Right click menus seem very similar to what I get with Wineyes.

I still have Reaper 4.22 on this Win7 64 machine, so if you want me to 
try some particular move with NVDA, let me know.

I'll go to the midi editor and see if it's as easy to edit  midi events 
as with Wineyes.
If NVDA will do your midi quantization work arounds; Roy, I think 
nothing is lacking.
I was going to uninstall Reaper, from this computer; since it's totally 
impossible to run with Wineyes 7.5.22.
I prefer Wineyes 6.1 to NVDA; in my XP daw; because I like to look at 
the whole screen with wineyes num pad navigation keys, and feel half 
blinded by NVDA's lack of the same entire screen review facility.
I don't doubt that very skilled NVDA user can find anything on a screen, 
it just frustrates me to get only bits and pieces; here and there; with 
various shortcuts; instead of the entire screen all at once.
If NVDA ever gets easy screen navigation at the number pad, look out 
Jaws and Window-Eyes.
My greatest frustration with NVDA lately is; on Win7;  that it doesn't 
pop up Win7's U A C dialog for me.
Instead it goes silent.
I have poked around with the spacebar and pressing Y for yes, and 
actually got programs to run, but it's just guessing; no confirmation 
speech during the U A C dialog.
