Hi Folks,

A most perplexing problem has plagued me of late, and I'm wondering if anyone 
has any suggestions for it.

Using the latest build of Jaws 9, Windows XP, Norton Anti-Virus 2005 and 
nothing else I can think of that would affect it, besides running it on a 
Toshiba Laptop, when ever I start up, I get no speech with Jaws, and so I have 
to start Narrator, shut down Jaws, then restart it again.

At that point, I get speech back with no problems after that.

I do have a persistent dialog box that pops up when Jaws starts telling me that 
it could not load the Braille driver, and I have not been able to shut that 
off, or stop it from coming up.  I should note that this dialog box does not 
pop up when the computer starts, only when I restart Jaws after the initial no 
speech.

Can anyone offer a suggestion as to why this happens and what I can do to fix 
it?

I have thought that the Braille driver is starting up when the computer boots 
up, and therefore gives me no speech, defaulting to the non-existent Braille 
display I once had hooked up to it, and so when I shut Jaws down and restart 
it, it no longer can find that Braille driver, and so defaults back to the 
speech?

Does this sound plausible, and if so, how can I fix this problem?

I would welcome any suggestions.

Thank you all for your help.
