Hi Cathleen, Sounds like you forgot to go to terminal mode and press enter on braille before selecting the braillenote from within window eyes. At the main menu prompt on the bn, hit t for terminal and the display should say braille. Then press enter and the display should be blank.
Do this before selecting the bn as your braille display from within window eyes. You should hear speech from window eyes almost immediately after selecting the bn as your braille display and also see something display on the bn. If there is a several-second pause between the time you selected the braillenote from window eyes and the time you hear speech, and if the braille display remains blank, it probably means that the window eyes driver couldn't locate the braillenote. If the driver can't locate the braillenote, the driver doesn't load, so if you want to try again, you have to select the bn as your braille display again.

My son may have connected things incorrectly, when my PC returned from the repair shop; but I don't see how, because when I use Window-Eyes, and the Dek-Talk externall synthesizer, the synthesizer is working. But when I hook my Braille Note to my computer, I receive no Braille display. I have chosen Braille Note in Window-Eyes. I have my Braille Note turned on. All I see is "main menu" on my Braille display. I hear my screen-reader saying other things. Thanks for your thoughts. Kathleen G.
