Well I was thinking about that and at 1:00 AM it came to me, if that port was bad, then you might not be able to active sync or use your BN as a synth. Unless your switching ports to do this. It has to be a PC issue because your BN works on that other computer.

Yes, I was careful to reinstall all the synth and Braille drivers I wanted Jaws to have, including the BN. I, too, think my serial portmight have died. I bought a USB to serial converter from www.pagecomputers.com and it should be here in a few days. I'll let you know if it solves things.
