Good Evening,
Since the upgrade to Windows 10, I haven't been able to use the computer with the FS braill display I am borrowing. I uninstalled and reinstalled the display drivers and checked the setting under Preferences/Braille Settings, then chose the appropriate display. Things still are not working. did I miss something?

Maybe there are spaciffic drivers for win10 if not win8 or 8.1 drivers should work in theory.

From what I've heard about Windows 10, it is more
picky about drivers than earlier versions of Windows. I'm not a tech and I
may be wrong, but I doubt there is a basis to say that Windows 8 or 8.1 drivers
should work in theory.

I suspected that the upgrade may be the reason. That is why I
uninstalled then reinstalled the device drivers. The FS website
didn't specify a Windows version with the link to the drivers.

Hello,
I'm usinga PacMate 40 display from Freedom Scientific, and had no problems upgrading to Windows 10.
I have the driver in my Dropbox, should anyone need it.
Ask, and I'll shaer the link.
Ciao,

What display specifically are you using? If you're
using one of the original Pacmate or Pacmate Omni displays, it's not gonna work.
At least, I! can't get it to work. Trust me. I tried billions of
times!
Honestly, that's one of the only very very few
things keeping me from using NVDA full time. That, and, same goes with my big
Alva Satelite 80. God would I love to use that thing on Windows 10! The drivers
have been totally deprecated though as far as I can see. I had this discussion
on the list a while back, but no one really seemed to know how to get either of
my displays up and running with NVDA.
I can get the Alva working in JFW as long as I'm on
Windows XP 32 bit, but with NVDA, regardless the architect, or version of
Windows, forget it. Yeah, I tried with BRLTTY, and with LibBrl, I think it's
called, but neither work. Keep in mind, I don't have a power cord for my Alva as
I got it used, and this machine I'm running it on doesn't have a serial port, so
I'm having to bus power it via USB.
I'm veering way off from the initial topic at hand,
so I'll further refrane, but my point is, I can't get the Alva to work at all,
and as far as FS displays go, unless it's a newer display like a Focus, or a
Focus Blue, I don't think it's gonna work, at least not without you putting up a
fight.
Now, that said, if anyone knows a trick in Win10
Home 64 bit to get even just via USB, the original PM20 or PM40, in my case the
20, to work with NVDA, please, I beg of you, give me step by step directions.
I'd kill! to get that thing working!
Chris.

Here you go:

Chris,
I'm currently using it with my pac mate QX 40 display. It works like a charm. I went into NVDA's preferences and then to braille. In the braille displays area, I hit F until I came upon freedom scientific focus series or something like that, I hit enter after I had installed the driver, and it started working immediately. Needless to say, I am stoked.

I did. You are an absolute lifesaver! It worked
like a dream! I guess the drivers are not natively included in Windows 10 like
they are for some displays.
Now, if anyone's got a Win10 64 bit USB driver for
the Alva Satelite 584 Pro, I think it is? That would be incredible!

Malard,
Yup, same version number here.
BTW, would you please get with me off list? I have

absolutely might could help me with.

Good Evening,
I'm glad you are able to use your display with Win 10. The display I'm borrowoing is also a Pac Mate one. It still doesn't show up. Wonder if I missed something in the settings.

I'm usinga PacMate 40 display from Freedom Scientific, and had no problems upgrading to Windows 10.
I have the driver in my Dropbox, should anyone need it.
Ask, and I'll shaer the link.
Ciao,
Ollie

Maybe there are spaciffic drivers for win10 if not win8 or 8.1 drivers
should work in theory.

Pauline,
Which setting? If it's the NVDA Braille settings, you don't find Pac Mate, but Freedom Scientific.
