On Windows 7, running the NVDA screen reader, FBackup4 opens but Windows rapidly says it is not responding. I was only trying to set up a backup job, but it fails when I hit Properties, and does not even create a log entry.
When I stop NVDA then FBackup4 runs perfectly, but this is no good for the person whose PC it is, as he is blind and needs the screen reader to be running.
Is there anything in FBackup4 which might interact with the screen reader? You can find NVDA at www.nvda-project.org

Hi,
We will fix that problem.

Do you know you can monitor your backups remotely with Backup4all Monitor? You can read more here: https://www.backup4all.com/backup4all-monitor.html

To clarify that it is not just 4.6 which causes the error, I just updated to the latest release (4.7) and the problem still exists, although it seems to occur less frequently.
