Hello Sean. I don't have a problem getting the vm to recognize the Focus, I either answer the prompts or make the connection from the USB menu. However Jaws doesn't recognize the Focus when I shut down and restart either Jaws or Windows. I get the error message stating that Jaws cannot load the Braille driver. I didn't have the focus connected when I installed Jaws but did the custom install adding the focus and plugging it in at a later time. Do you think that it matters? I am using Windows 7. Do you think that I need to run the setup program as Administrator?
Thanks so much. On Mar 12, 2012, at 5:43 AM, Sean Murphy <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Paul. > > If Windows is booted. VMWare should prompt you if Mac or Windows should use > the USB Device.
