Tracy and Jake,
Tracy, this morning it said "unpack successful" but when I found the book it
still would not open.
Jake, That is exactly why I download the brf files. I do not want the
display to translate, because it is not true digital brf. I would rather
have the books already translated, because I do not like Grade II Braille on
my computer.
Thanks,
Sue S.

Sue,
I recently bought a new computer, and, the first time it asked me what
program to use with a brf file, I said Notepad, and now it's fine. Are you
sure it's not asking you some question, then refusing to open the file?
Jake,
I've never had my PC braille display translate for me. I'd have to reset
it from the way I use it for every other application, and that's too much
trouble for me.
