Good morning Erica. Have you installed the latest patch from Hims? Here's the link: http://hims-inc.com/resource-center/braille-edge-40/
You also might want to call hims tech support. I've never seen a braille driver load error with the Edge. Let us know how it goes and have a great day.

Isn't there also an additional driver that needs to be installed for it to work with Jaws? I'm not sure if that's changed with the updates but I'm pretty sure I had to install 2 sets of drivers. I just upgraded to 17 and W10 so I guess I'll be revisiting this issue.
Good luck.

If you install the Windows drivers on JAWS 17 before trying to connect the Edge, it should work. Also be sure your Bluetooth switch is set to off.

Maybe I need to try upgrading to Jaws 17 from 15. Jaws crashes whenever I try using the Edge, by USB or bluetooth. Maybe that will solve the problem!
