Re: "Loading NVDA. Please wait."

I just tried and I am unable to get it to say "loading" no matter how I try to start NVDA. I just get the ascending scale when I start NVDA. I tried starting it with the shortcut, using the keyboard shortcut (which should be the same thing), starting up NVDA with the run dialog, and using the start menu.

I am using the latest version if that makes a difference.

Thanks!
Tim

No, after I hear the notes, it seems to be loaded.

Yes, I get the piano tunes when loading. After the piano tunes is when I hear "loading". You didn't mention hearing that so I'm guessing some people don't get the "loading" message?

I used to hear "taskbar" after a few seconds, sort of indicating it was done loading, but I haven't heard that for a long time now. Perhaps the version changed or maybe it depends how you start it, the hotkey versus the Windows start menu. Sometimes I start with the speech viewer automatically opened and sometimes I don't but I haven't noticed if that affects hearing "taskbar".
