Hi all,
Someone assured me on another list that the Braille display I'll be
using, the BrailleNote, will come up as soon as JAWS loads, i.e. I'll
feel the Braille as soon as JAWS loads. However, I do recall that this
is not the case with all displays, for example the Alva Satellite series
of displays. I remember looking at a friend's laptop who had this
display and she was using it with JAWS 7.0. If JAWS was loaded from the
startup group, then all is well, both speech and Braille comes up.
However, if JAWS was set to start automatically as a service, a JAWS
Video Intercept message came up and it refused to load. So I had to turn
that off and resort back to the startup group method, and all was well
again. Could anyone tell me please why this may have been the case? Is
it because Alva uses proprietary drivers or something that JAWS can't
load unless it started after Windows started? Hope you understand my
queries, and thanks in advance for the help.
