Furthermore, the areas which used to be links, such as for location, buy it now only, and the various categories which show up when I search for something, are no longer read as links, but as some kind of inaccessible links. I also can't use the text boxes for price. They give me their own range, and I can't change them. This has been going on for over a month now. It used to work with Firefox, then stopped. So I used Internet Explorer. But that doesn't work now, and neither does Comet Bird. About three days ago, I discovered that I was now able to use the price text boxes, but I haven't tried the other things. This happened on multiple computers, so I'm sure it's not a virus. I'm using Windows XP and the latest version of NVDA. When I mentioned this to other blind people, none of them had this problem. What is going on here and has it been fixed? Is there a way to get the regular settings back?
