I have a braille ex el that does kind of the same thing. What I have to do is start jaws with the braille ex connected. stop jaws, unplug the braille ex, plug the braille ex and then restart jaws and all is good then. Sounds kind of strange but it does work. who know, maybe one of the upcoming releases of jaws will fix this issue. -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
