JFW was searching for the braille displays that werrent their. This caused
an error message that jaws didn't report to keep from causing a blue screen.
Go in to the configuration maniger, and go to braille options. Their you
will find something that will allow you to tell JFW that you don't want it
to search for braille displays at start up. Note, to use the braille
displays, you must uncheck this option, then: restart JFW.

Subject: big disappointment with re-installation of jfw3.3, help please!
> hi listers,
> my most sincere and humble apology for a rather lengthy post. Here it
goes.
> I tried to re-install jfw3.3, as I talked about this morning, if some of
you

disappointment.
> So, now I'm without jfw3.3, but thanks to jfw3.2 that I did not delete and
> hanged on to it for a potential rainy day, such as like this one.
> what happened, I clicked the setup button, and the opening screen came up
> all right. Dr. Jaws examined the system and approved it. The next screen
> gave me 2 options, and I picked up 'custom-install' out of those. then
the
> next screen asked me which drive i'd install jfw, and gave me a list of
> drive that included my desired drive, so I chose drive e. Then after few

select

asked

thing
> like this, installation is complete successfully, I can read the 'read-me'

some

tried

> I repeated the process at least 3 times but with no luck.
