Java problem with Windows 11

Post by Daviid »

GoWrite fails with an 'accessibility' error. This is a Java issue...

The best fix is to disable the Access Bridge technology in the Java configuration files. To do this, follow these steps:

Navigate to C:\Users\<username>
Open the file called .accessibility.properties using a standard text editor (Notepad is fine)
Find the following lines in the config:
assistive_technologies=com.sun.java.accessibility.AccessBridge
screen_magnifier_present=true
Add a hashmark (#) in front of theses lines
Save your changes to the file, restart the User Client Software

Not my solution - it came from https://www.papercut.com/kb/Main/Assist ... #the-cause but it works!

Thank you for reporting this.
I made a test version that may solve the problem: https://gowrite.net/download/gowrite2_3_1_7.exe.
This version includes accessibility support in gowrite, so the broken/incompatible support from elsewhere should not impact it.

Can you test and report if it work?

Regards,
Lauri
