Andrew, Good advice, but the braille display supplier should know this!

It probably won't be COM1. Go into device manager, and go into the ports section, and in there you will see the USB adapter listed as a specific COM port. You then need to instruct JFW to use this port rather than COM1 (default). Thanks. Andrew. ________________________________ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of sharon Sent: 13 April 2006 21:44 To: Access UK; Jaws Subject: [access-uk] USB to Serial Cable Hi, I have just purchased a new PC which does not have any serial ports on it. I am running a powerbraille and have just purchased a USB to serial lead, which I was advised to do from the company I bought the braille display from. However, I cannot get it to work. I have installed the software as directed, e.g. plugging in the USB and letting the PC find the drivers, which it did. I was informed installation was complete and pressed finish. I am still unable to get any Braille on the display. I have restarted the PC, plus Jaws several times, but still no Braille. Do I need some drivers for Jaws or something like that. Any help much appreciated, as I am now stuck! Sharon -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition. Version: 7.1.385 / Virus Database: 268.4.1/310 - Release Date: 12/04/2006
