Hello, Many thanks to Samuel and Dave for their answers. About the admin rights, I noticed that BRLTTY in debug mode is writing a log file in C:/Program Files/BRLTTY. That is the reason why it does not work properly under W7 without admin rights. Regarding BrlAPI, the service is properly launched and run under W7 but nothing happens (no window, nothing, it looks idle). I don't know what commands/parameters are necessary to make it working and interacting with Chatty Infty application. Thanks for your help. Best regards Denis
