Try downloading JAWS 16 Beta and in the initial set up set up the braille display. I suspect the driver must be clobbered for some reason or there is some weird conflict.
It could be that a generic window driver has over ridden the braill driver. robin robin -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Hrvoje Katic Sent: October 6, 2014 11:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS and braille display not communicating (urgent)! Thank you, but this is what I tried already, and it didn't work. I also tried with different ports, but the display is simply not detected. I even think that the problem is with Baum driver for Windows, rather than JAWS driver, since it will also not work with any other screen reader such as NVDA as well. Just the note that the Baum Pronto's driver instructions are quite poor. It seams they are not updated for a long time, since they still mention JAWS 10 and Windows XP.
