Hi Jane I tried that first. cheers Val ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jane Jordan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2005 11:03 PM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] braille terminal
You have to set the BrailleNote up as a Braille display. JAWS already has drivers for this. Just go into JAWS and where it says Braille. Then select BrailleNote as a Braille display. To get it working propperly, y'blind need to reboot your computer, but it should work after that.
