If you haven't done so yet, check the connection on the computer end of the 
cable.  I've occasionally had problems with that.  Lou

  Subject: [bookport] connecting problem


  Hi.  I am having a sudden problem. When I put the end of the usb cable into 
the usb slot on the Bookport, the bookport doesn't work and neither does the 
jaws speech which is running with the external Double Talk synthesizer which 
has a speaker plugged into the computer.  I have checked and the usb hub I'm 
using is plugged in correctly and the only other usb device on the hub is my HP 
scanner which works just fine with Open Book.  The only thing I haven't done is 
to disconnect the hub from the computer and just connect the book port cable to 
the usb port.  When I unplug the usb cable from the bookport, book says, 
Bookport is ready" and it works just fine.

  Also, the keyboard doesn't seem to work when I plug in this cable.  This is 
the cable I've been using and I have transferred books to the book port.  when 
I'd connect the cable, Bookport used to open--the software that is.  

  This stuff just occurs when I put the cable into the Book Port and I am using 
the cable supplied with Book Port.  

  Any ideas?  I'm also awaiting a call from Technical Support.

  Margo and Elmo
