Dear List: It's been a week since I have gotten the Bookport, and I seem no further along than I was on day one. I am working in a Windows 2000 Professional environment. I am using Norton Personal Firewall and Norton Anti Virus. I use Jaws version 5.00.62. I have only been able to get the File Transfer program to work infrequently. Most of the time I get the message Bookport Not Connected. Here are the steps that I have taken. I have uninstalled the software. Then I reinstalled the software with the Bookport connected to my computer. I did this with both Norton Anti Virus and Norton Personal Firewall disabled. The results were inconsistent at best. I have tried starting the computer with Bookport connected and accessing the file transfer utility, but I get the same message "Bookport not connected." I have tried starting the computer, disabling both Anti Virus and the Personal Firewall, but I get the same message "Bookport not connected." Now here's two interesting items. If I go into My Computer, I see and can look at the Bookport drive (F on my system), but the File Transfer program says, you guessed it, "Bookport not connected." Also, sometimes when I remove the device from the computer, it stops working. I have to take the batteries out to reset the defaults. I am afraid that I have tried so many different combinations of things that I am not sure from what point to start. The file transfer program has only started once when I plugged the machine into the computer. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Also tips on how you connect, disconnect the machine to the computer will be appreciated. Thanks for your help. Best regards, Bob Cronin
