Thanks for the help. The problem is that due to my physical disabilities I find it difficult to plug in a serial cable, unless there's a trick? Anyway I don't have a serial port built in on my Toshiba laptop so for now the only option I have is bluetooth. As I say I've managed to discover the problem; my bluetooth software, which is made by Widcomm since I have a broadcom adaptor, doesn't start until right after Windows has started. This is evidenced by "bluetooth" appearing in the startup folder. Thanks for the help, greatly appreciated.

I have a BrailleNote mPower and I'm finding that I have to reload JAWS just to get it to output information in Braille as it says it couldn't load the Braille driver even though I have it set up correctly. I'm using JAWS 8 and my connection method is bluetooth.Hmm I would have thought it would. Since it is blue tooth maybe it hasn't loaded yet for the log on screen. I remember with a serial connection on my old pc it would start for the log on screen.Sorry I can't test and I will be using it on linux so that won't be any help. But try a serial connection if you can.-- Daniel Dalton http://members.iinet.net.au/~ddalton/ daniel.dalton47@xxxxxxxxx -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.comJFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxTo unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.Archives located at: //www.freelists.org/archives/jfwIf you have any concerns about the list, post received from the list, or the way the list is being run, do not post them to the list.
