Hi Tim.
It doesn't make sense but I'll try it.
CMD is, however, pressing the delete key when I hear the announcement??? Is
this what you mean???
Andy.
So when I get the image and the audio announcement I simply do this:

Hi Andy,
It sounds to me like there is a mostly empty Desktop, with one Screen Shot
file located on the Desktop. The mountain range is immaterial to this, other
than it being a nice scene for your wife or other sighted person to view. The
reason it just goes ding ding when you attempt to navigate around the Desktop
is due to the fact that there is only the one file. So, as you try to
navigate, there is actually nowhere to go. If that screen shot is of no value
to you, then just move it to the Trash by pressing cmd-Delete when the file is
selected. You will then have a totally blank Desktop. VO will still make the
ding noise when you're on the Desktop,as there is nothing there to announce the
presence of. You can then use regular VO navigation commands to open items
from the Dock, or go up to the menubar etc.
Hope this makes sense.
Later...

Hi Tim and John.
Thanks for your advice.
Putting the password question to one side for a moment, as it's not really
all that of an inconvenience, to have to sign into my computer on boot-up.
Concerning the mountain range desktop background, this does make sence to me,
as I upgraded both devices yesterday, when they both were using El Capitan, I
suppose I can live with it being a total. However, this does not explaine the
following message when the image appears:
"LW Screenshot
Portable network graphic image
You are currently on a Portable Graphic Network Image."."
Voice over does not tell you how to respond to this message as voice over
normally does with other things and I cannot do anything to move away, such as
Command W or Q or escape.
.
I don't think that all High Seera users are hearing this through Voice over
as John would have recognised it. But it does refer to a Graphic Image, so I
don't know.
I only wish I could get rid of it, or better have no desktop background image
at all, if this is what is causing this message.
What do you guys think I can do?
Very best wishes.
Andy.
From Scotland with Love.

Hi,
The mountain scene is the High Sierra Desktop background/wall paper, so,
yes, you're on the Desktop of the Mac. Regarding the requirement of entering
your password upon restart, that can be changed, but I highly discourage that.
It is a minor inconvenience that allows for a small layer of security. For
example, if your house was unlawfully entered and your Mac was stolen, having
no password at all upon starting your Mac makes it very simple for the culprit
to gain access to all sorts of your personal information that is stored on the
Mac. Just that one password makes it a problem. For real good security, there
are many more steps you could take, but this little one is the foundation and
is a good start.
I'll get off the soap-box now.

Hi again John.
I got my wife to view the Image and she advises that the whole screen has
a mounting scene on it, like a windows desk-top background image.
Voice over still announced the description I mentioned in my previous
message.
I did a VO left arrow and it went away, and so did my wife to her bed
unfortunately, so no more help from her this evening
She did say that it was asking me for a password as well.
It seems that both my Imac and Mackbook Pro desire me to sign in every time
I restart the computers, which is a pain.
I'll have another go tomorrow to see if I can get any more information.
Thanks for your assistance.
Very best wishes.
Andy.

I can't see FaceTime causing a problem like this. I am not sure what
the portable network graphic could be. Do you have a pair of eyes available to
tell you what it's asking you?

Hi Aleeha and John.
I did several VO left arrow commands and reached a box saying Close
Graphic Image or something like that.
I selected this with VO Spacebar and returned to the desktop, so I
rebooted and the same old message came up on boot up.
A reason for this problem is probably associated with me trying this
morning, on my Macbook to make a Facetime contact with my Nephew in Australia.
I must have done something wrong. Any Ideas how to get rid of this
please.
Very best wishes.

It sounds like you are simply on your desktop unless this is some
kind of new system message. Can you go to the Dock with VO-d or command-tab?

Hi all.
Just when I was coming to grips with my Macbook and Imac, after
learing how to use Facetime, I got what I think was an upgrade. This is
because I've not used either device for some time.
Anyway, when I start both my Imack and my Macbook Pro, I'm getting
the following message and Voice over does not tell me what to do about it.
Message:
LW Screenshot
Portable network graphic image
You are currently on a Portable Graphic Network Image.
I don't know that the computer wishes me to do.
Any answers pleas.
Thanks.
Very best wishes.
