Hi Dave,
do you happen to have any documentation or something that you remember off your head to get rid of this issue? FS tech support said "no support for RC Systems", I don't even remember the name of the gentleman. Somehow I understand it, but I am not going to sue anyone or so, I just want a working system. I did already install and uninstall JAWS 10, also reinstalled and uninstalled the mirror driver to no avail, looked inside the registry, and indeed, there were some references left, but I dare not touch anything before I know about which key to delete etc. Sighted assistance is not an option, since there is none available at this point, reverting to an earlier OS would mean installing it all from scratch. This really sucks, when you have a working system in theory, and the only thing preventing you from using it, is what you use every day, wow that's tough.

Nermin,

I'm thinking that your only solution might involve editing the registry.
When I had similar problems with a DameWare Mirror driver that installed and 
messed up my JAWS I got on the phone with Tech Support and with their
step-by-step instruction we removed any and all JAWS elements that had an
impact on the video chain. Then a reboot and re-install from scratch.

Sorry I have no steps to give you other than call FS in the morning, and
take two aspirin.

Dave

Subject: Heeeelp, Mirror Display Driver won't install!!!


Hi all,

this is by far the most curious situation I've ever seen, but here goes:

Vista Home Premium didn't want to start up, bluescreen.
Fix with a Windows 7 RC DVD, and a clean upgrade of the operating system,
with JAWS 9.0 at that time, everything running smoothly. After the Upgrade, 
JAWS 9.0 refused to start up correctly, complaining that the Freedom
Scientific Mirror Display Driver hadn't been installed properly, and that
restarting the system might solve the issue.
Restarting didn't do much of anything, so I uninstalled JAWS with shared
components, reinstalled JAWS, but this time 10.0.1154.
Still the same result.
No mouse emulation, no proper recognition of some parts of the screen. I
tried various combinations of uninstalling and reinstalling JAWS, going into 
device manager and removing some driver remainders, installing a prior
display driver using a 9.0 built, and manually deleting
fs_something.dll-Files that were part of the bloody fantastic driver
architecture.

And now I am at a loss as to what to do next.
Is there a stand-alone version of the mirror driver somewhere, and what can 
I do to fix this?
This is a laptop with 2 Gig Ram, 200 gig HD, card reader, intel graphics
chipset, a German brand with the German Version of Windows 7 RC, and the
corresponding German JAWS 10.0.
Any help would be really appreciated, since this Laptop is not mine, and is 
used mainly for business purposes.

Regards,

Nermin
