I haven't been able to. I always get errors about being unable to set the host port mode because the device path is empty or null. I don't know why I get these errors either, but it's beyond frustrating. It doesn't seem to make a difference whether I use Windows XP Pro or Home as a host operating system, it just always happens. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks much, Zack. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregory Nowak" To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux."
