Claudio, I believe that there are video intercept issues with JAWS and Alva 
displays. My friend has a totally different problem, and it made me wonder if 
it's to do with how the Alva software interacts with JAWS. Sorry if I couldn't 
be of any help, but I hope that may have solved some of your query.

  Hi
  Putting my Computer in sleepmode, then waking it up produces a Brailledisplay 
problem.
  I'm using JAWS7.x and JAWS8.x, WinXP, USB-connection.
  Problem description:
  It would be fine, if I could use the sleepmode of my laptop for example to 
move between two offices or between two trains. When I wake my laptop up 
afterwards however, I hear the USB-connecting sound, but my display doesn't 
show anything and doesn't respond to any keymovement. This problem is happening 
since JAWS6.2. My Brailledisplay is a Satellite traveller 544. I heart that 
Displays of handytech and Baum do have the same problem, and Displays of 
Freedom scientific don't. Is this true? This has nothing to do with 
USB-connection, because a series conection shows the same problem. I haven't 
this problem with no other device connected to my computer, so it must be a 
JAWS problem. I reported this problem once upon a time and I was told, that the 
problem will be fixed; but it looks as if Freedomscientific hasn't fixed it 
even in the latest JAWS version. Aren't they interested in it?
  Please, please, please help fixing it. I don't won't loosing time each time I 
wake my computer up, by first having to shut down JAWS and reloading it. Being 
able to use the sleepmode is a right of everyone working with a computer, and 
so also for each JAWS user, isn't it.
  Thanks
  Claudio
