Hi Mike and all,
What was previous posted; somebody is clearly using the portable
version, as there is no userconfig directory in the installable version.
Instead, NVDA stores your settings in c:\documents and
settings\<username>\application data\NVDA, where <username> is the
actual user account. This is under XP. In Vista and later they are
stored in c:\users\<username>\appdata\roaming\NVDA, again where
<username> is the actual user account. Sorry I didn't reply earlier; I
was waiting for somebody else to post, but they haven't, so thought I'd
post. So try looking in one of the above paths. Hope this helps.

Hi Ishe;
Where does one find the NVDAInstallation Directory? The only place that I
find a folder with other files is in the root of the CDrive/Program Files
and there is not a folder in there named "userConfig". All help is deeply
appreciated. Thanks much. Take care.
Mike

Hi Steve,
Well, go to NVDA installation directory. You should browse to a directory
called "userConfig". Here you will see a file called "nvda.ini", trusting
that your Windows Explorer or any file manager you may be using shows file
extensions.
Make sure that NVDA is not running.
Open this INI file in your favourite text editor: find a section labelled
"[speech]".
Find a line that starts with "voice=", for instance mine reads like this:
voice = en\en
variant = max
rate = 55
pitch = 40
inflection = 75
volume = 100
Make sure the voice=value is set to "en\en" for British English: (well you
can change to American or any other later on).
I only referred to deleting unneeded language files, but you can ignore
this. However, if you are cock sure (like What I do) that you will never
speak any other language other than English, you can later on delete these
extra files in the directory called "Locale".
I hope this helps. If this does not do the magic, then you can contact me
off list and I will send you my Ini file which you can overwrite yours, then
change the settings later on.
May God bless you in your endeavour trusting that this works.
Cheers,
Ishe

Hi, do pardon my confusion, but where can I find that. I opened the NVDA
directory and did not see that file you are speaking about.
Could you provide more detailed steps on how to do this please?

Delete the nvda.ini instead.
After a fresh installation, I personally delete all language files and
keep the English file only, so you may get into the languages folder and
delete the rest and keep what you can hear.

Hello friends;
I installed the latest NVDA and was playing around with the languages
and lost my way in the Arabic world.
I uninstalled and reinstalled but still can't get out of this mess.
I can't read the menus to choose any options since only numbers are
read.
Any help would be met with much appreciation.
