Subject: JAWS 4.51 and Alva ABT 3 Series Braille Display
Dear List Members
I am currently using JAWS Version 4.51.121 together with Windows 2000. =
I
am using an Alva ABT 3 braille display connected to one of the parallel=
ports on my PC.
The problem that I am experiencing can be described as follows. When =
I am
in the Start Menu in Windows, and I scroll up or down with the arrow ke=
ys
on the keyboard, the braille display does not display the menu item tha=
t
has focus. For example, if I am on the "Programs" item, and I scroll d=
own
to the "Documents" item, the braille display still shows "Programs". I=
f I
press the down arrow key again, the braille display still shows "Progra=
ms"
instead of changing to "Settings" which is the item that has focus.
Strangely enough, when I come to the "Run..." item, the braille display=
changes and shows the correct item. The braille display does not respo=
nd
appropriately in other applications too. However, JAWS speech works
perfectly in both the Start Menu and other applications where the brail=
le
display is faulty.
I have tried the folowing, but each time was not successful in solving =
the
problem:
* changing the display settings (effects, colours and resolution),
* changing the display card,
* connecting the braille display via a com/serial port,
* uninstalling and re-installing JAWS, and
* installing the patch for JAWS 4.51.121 which is available on the web
site.
If anyone has experienced the same problem, or if you have a solution, =
can
you please help me.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards
Elash Mistry=
