Was it ever possible before to start JAWS with a braille display but
using no speech? It is also only in the advent of JAWS6 that we have
'flash' messages on the braille display that were mostly or always just
spoken before. I tend to use speech and braille, braille when I require
more detail.

Don't worry Phil; I'm sure the problem is to do with what is called up
in startup, but what I don't know.

Sorry then gentlemen,
The only other thing I can think of, but can't understand why it
should only apply when starting up manually, is that the "Enable Braille
auto detection" box isn't checked in the default Jaws configurations,
Braille settings.
I use a PowerBraille 40 on a laptop through a USB to serial lead and
have no problems of this sort. I had to use Com4 because other things
were using the previous three. It is possible that you are getting a
conflict with something else which is using the same com port but I
would expect that to be a consistent problem every time that Jaws loads.
Sorry again folks,
Phil Medway.

No Phil. These settings are OK on my system too, but thanks for the
effort.

No Phil,
It's nothing to do with that; because if it were, when Jaws
restarted, if no display were the default, then the braille display
still wouldn't, if you see what I mean.

Hi Roger and Colin,
I would hazard a guess that the default display is "no display".
To check this and to change it to your required display:
1. Press JawsKey+j to bring up the Jaws window.
2. Cursor right once then up twice to land on Braille and
press enter. You should hear two things spoken. The name of the active
display and the name of the default display.
You need to make the default display the one you wish to become
active at start-up. To do this:
1. Cursor down the list until you land on the required
default display.
2. Tab to OK and press enter.
Note. You may need to reboot or restart Jaws to activate the
setting.
HTH,
Phil Medway.

Hi Roger and all,
I have a similar probelm, but I get it every time my wife has
been on the PC and switched back to me. Sometimes, the problem is
caused by the fact that the display has gone to sleep through
inactivity, but this isn't always the case. I'm running 6.0 and a Handy
Tech Braille Wave. If I unload and reload Jaws, everything is fine.
In a way, I'm glad it's not just me.
Colin

problem
Hi List,
Here's a brain teaser. I wish to start Jaws with a Braille
display. All the correct settings have been selected; the braille
display, automatically start Jaws 6.10 at startup, etc. However,
although Jaws speech starts with no problem, whatever I do, the braille
display driver won't start the braille display, and the only way to get
it going is to unload Jaws, and then re-start it, in which case, the
braille comes up fine. And if I choose the option of Jaws not starting
automatically at startup, and then manually start Jaws, the braille
display starts just fine. I am running Xp home, Jaws 6.10, and there
shouldn't be a problem, but there is. I've done the other obvious things
like reinstall selecting the correct components, and Jaws repair; and
each time, the FIRST TIME, the braille display starts, and I think I've
solved the problem. Not a bit, because the next time I reboot, no
braille. Does anyone know where in Jaws the file can be located that
contains the specific instruction to load a braille display, so that I
might edit it. And the other interesting thing is that I have two
displays, a Powerbraille 40, and a Handytech Baum Vario 80, and both
behave exactly the same, so it's not a problem with the actual braille
displays; it must be a problem from within the Jaws Startup. Of-course,
it's only a little problem, and I could start everything manually; it's
just that I shouldn't have to.
Cheers
Roger
