Val sounds like you have a problem that may be hard to find with out knowing your system. If I have any ideas I will let you know.

Although still can't get the braille terminal to work or synth. I followed your instruction to the letter and tried first by only having the braille terminal and all external synths have been unchecked. I still believe my computer is unable to communicate with my braille note. I tried to use add new hardware and it found nothing. When I have done this in the past with an apollo 2 it picks it up. cheers Val ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bray, Terry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 5:12 PM Subject: RE: [Braillenote] braille terminal JUST REMEMBER YOU CAN ONLY USE ONE AT A TIME AND YOU NEED TO REBOOT AFTER EACH CHANGE TO CLEAR THE PORT. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of val smith Sent: July 20, 2005 11:36 AM To: Braillenote List Subject: Re: [Braillenote] braille terminal Hi Terry I removed the external synths and have the braille note set up as the default.

So I might try the useing as a synth and removing the braille device and see what error message I get. cheers Val ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bray, Terry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 2:42 PM Subject: RE: [Braillenote] braille terminal Val: At this point I think what I would do is decide which one you want running as a Braille display or as a remote synthesizer. Once you decide that run Jaws maintenance and remove what ever one your not using. The problem is or could be that jaws is trying to use the device for both at the same time. Even though you might for example have checked it as a Braille display but want to use it as remote when ever you boot the machine it will always look for a Braille display and even if it doesn't find one it still locks the port. I believe your problem is Jaws not the BN. There is a way to override the Braille settings however at this point you need to get it going before we find another solution. If you want depending on where you are and how comfortable you are with the technology I can try to assist as I understand how frustrating it can be when things don't do what you want them to. good luck -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of val smith Sent: July 19, 2005 3:50 PM To: Braillenote List Subject: Re: [Braillenote] braille terminal Hi Terry at this stage I would be happy to get just one working. cheers Val ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bray, Terry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2005 8:35 PM Subject: RE: [Braillenote] braille terminal Val: Make sure you don't have Jaws looking for both a Braille display and a synthesizer at the same time it won't work if you do. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of val smith Sent: July 19, 2005 3:28 PM To: Braillenote List Subject: Re: [Braillenote] braille terminal Hi Susie I carried out the procedure you described to set up the braille note, and got fed up hearing that error message, so unchecked it. So when I upgraded the braille note and jaws I put it back on to see if I stil got the error message. I suppose if you do not get the message the braille works. When I installed the new keynote driver and went into jaws synths, it looked promising because there was an additional synth keynot gold and braille note. It still did not work. So I checked out the JFW.ini and noticed that it did not have the port information which I added. I still did not have any luck and think I might try going through lpt1, what do you think? cheers Val ps regarding pdf files I find kurzweil a great file converter. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Susan Stageberg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2005 4:53 PM Subject: RE: [Braillenote] braille terminal Val, I can answer one of your questions. The message about "unable to initialize Braille driver" comes up because of a check box that is checked under Braille options in JAWS. If you uncheck that, you won't get that annoying message. As for the rest of it, I assume you have followed all the usual steps: you've gone into JAWS Braille options and added the BrailleNote as a display; you arrow to it in the list and then press the Space bar to check it. Tab to OK, press Enter. Then unload JAWS, hook up the BrailleNote, set it in Terminal mode (from the Main Menu, press T.) Now start JAWS and you should have Braille. As for the synthesizer piece of this, you say you have installed the driver that allows the BrailleNote to be used as a synthesizer under JAWS. Somebody else may have to step in here, as it sounds to me like you've done what needs doing.

The problem I am having is setting up my braille note 6.1as a synth and a braille terminal with my Jaws screen reader . I have tried at least 3 different machines with different operating systems. I have tried the new driver from the humanware web site. Then upgraded my Jaws up to 6.2 and still no luck. I checked the com 1 with another external synth apollo 2 and it works fine. I tried loading jaws after start up but it comes up with a message "could not initialise braille driver". I am out of ideas any suggestions would be gratefully received.
