I don’t know why others are having problems, my WLM is still working OK on
the latest version of Windows 10. Tom

Marty If we view this present life as our primary goal, we will agree with William Shakespeare who said: “Life is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” From TODAY IN THE WORD June 1, 2020 Sadly I have to agree with this. I have loved WLM and am still using it part
of the time, but find there are more and more hiccups along the way. So I also
use Thunderbird and am gradually getting used to it, although I doubt I will
ever enjoy it the way I have WLM. WLM does everything faster than any other
client I have tried and it has, in the past done everything I ever wanted my
email client to do simply but fully. I don't care for to-do list, calendars,
etc. Since I am retired. And it has some very handy features I can't find in
others.

Re: could not load braille driver
Ann Byrne
I had this one earlier this week. It has to do with the Windows 10 Braille driver setting. You can't have both Narrator and JAWS displaying Braille.
Press the windows key, and in the searchbox type Braille. Arrow down to 'turn Braille on and off" and press enter. Be sure the 'turn on Braille' button is off. Tab to 'add a braille display'. Tab to 'add a Braille display' and ignore it. Tab again to the list of active Braille displays. there should be two: one that says windows something or other, and one that says Freedom Scientific packmate something or other. Be sure the windows is *not chosen and that the Freedom scientific display is chosen. Press enter and hope for the best. Good luck!

Re: could not load braille driver
Debby Hill
Hi Mike,
I have seen that error many times when working with braille displays and JAWS. It usually is fixed with either a reload of JAWS or a reboot of the computer. It sounds as though most things have been tried with no success. The only thing I can think of is have you tried a different cable between the computer and the PacMate? One time when I was repeatedly getting that error and nothing worked, it was the cable.
Good luck, Take care and be safe!

Hi guys:
When I load jaws, (both previous versions and also with latest version from the other day), I get a message: “ Could not load braille driver ” And then an “ok” button to which I must hit enter to pass.
Although I am not really technical, I do believe I have latest version of windows because it does updates on its own from time to time without asking me.
I have spoken to vispero regarding this on several occasions: On first occasion, They tandomed into my system, Done a jaws repair, And as soon as I restart the computer the problem reappears.
On latter occasions, They claim they cannot duplicate the bug, and, That they will note it in their logs of errors and bugs.
My first question is: Has anyone else received this error message? And, If yes, what if anything did you do to repair this bug.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I am trying to connect up to my pacmate braille display. For a long time, the display connected nicely; The problem is, I have had the error so long, I don’t remember whenst it first occurred; I am willing to guess that it started sometime last february or march.
Please advise as you like.

Re: Specs for a new desktop computer
Randy Barnett
I always download and create a usb stick of the latest windows 10
then use it to boot the pc and re format the OS drive and then do
a clean install of windows. this is best way to get a clean fast
pc. if that is to much for you you just go to add/remove programs
and delete all the stuff you dont want.

Re: Specs for a new desktop computer

As for cost you need a motherboard with a M2 slot or buy a PCI-E one. just google m2 ssd and pci-e ssd you will find all kinds of info. Cache on a SSD is pointless. On a mech. hdd the cache is their to help make the drive faster but an SSD is faster than the cache on a hdd so it is not relavent.

Hi,

I don't have a computer that will deliver that speed. For eMail and Internet searching, one does not need that kind of speed. I found the youtube link and other pages discussing HD speed, and to get to that speed, you will need a PCI style HD and a motherboard that can do that sort of HD. I merely offered information I found on a quick web search. Glenn
