Now you know the reason that I call pcs door stops and lap tops door mats.
I never had any issues like the problems with pcs that I encountered when I
was a main frame systems analyst.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Dongle question
Drum roll, successfully accomplished the task at hand.
Forgive me my little indulgence and allow me to explain. I have a rather
large collection of drivers around here that have been gathering for years
already. Now among them is the super pro driver for a dongle from FS. In
fact my new policy is not only pull out the non-Microsoft drivers but pull
out all of them. Long story short it found the needed files once I told it
to scan the entire collection. Now this is strange because earlier I pointed
it directly at the location where the required driver was residing and that
didn't work. Now did it pick that version or another of the same driver I do
not know. Either way it is now working properly and the Captain for now
remains on his ship.
This kind of thing has happened in the past when loading a sound card driver
on an XP system. I had the exact driver it said it needed but it wouldn't
work. Then I found the same driver on another system and that worked. Remind
me somebody as to why I do what it is that I do.

Clean install first of all. There seems to be some sort of an issue with
that particular system, but I'm not done trying as of yet. I spoke to Dennis
which interestingly enough only lives about 15 miles from here and he
confirmed a few items. First off the windows version should have nothing to
do with the problem.
The thing that we both found odd is that when the system boots up it says
JAWS home addition demo mode. Now that is only on startup, if I go in to the
help, about window it says professional serial 801. I admit that gave him a
bit of a shock to say the least.
It is Friday and I do have a bottle of Captain Morgan out in the kitchen,
not yet but it's more of a fallback kind of plan.

It would seem that my hardware dongle has gone bad for some reason or
another. Has anybody had this problem before? Obviously it looks like a call
to tech support is in order. It must be internal as there is no physical
damage to the thing at all, just like when I bought it several years ago.
