Hi Bill, Why would the age of the driver make a difference? If Jaws could read the screen just fine with the driver that comes with the monitor, why upgrade? Drivers don't wear out, so if your driver becomes corrupt, why not just re-install the original driver that corresponds to your monitor? If you upgrade Jaws, you don't need to update monitor drivers, do you?
