Which kind of old Braille display?
I have hooked up my old Braille Lite as a display using a usb-to-serial
converter just for jollies. I assume when you refer to a USB adapter, that
is what you are referencing. You need to go into the USB-to-Serial
converter port settings which you would find under your system, device
manager, ports settings and make sure they match the serial communications
parameters on your Braille display.
But, I haven't tried it on a Windows 7 PC.

I am running jaws11, windows 7, and office 7 on an HP Pavilion laptop. I
have an old Braille display which now connects to my old computer with a
serial cable.
Since the laptop does not have a serial port, I bought a usb 9 pin male
adapter hoping to get my Braille display, a powerbraille 40 to work with
my
new laptop.
It will not work. JAWS tech support seemed clueless.
Is there a work-around? or will I have to run this laptop without a
Braille
display, unless I buy a new one?
