Good for her, but myself and a lot of people have problems with pilot-link > 0.9.5 and Visors (I am using a Visor Deluxe). It is even stated on the Jpilot website:
2002-07-29 Do NOT use jpilot with pilot-link 0.11.0, 0.11.1, or 0.11.2! You have been warned. You can use 0.11.3 if you need usb, or a pilot-link older than 0.11 for serial, or usb visors.
I know "it works for me" isn't necessarily helpful. But this warning isn't about visors - it's about specific versions of pilot-link. For USB, you need a 0.11.x version, unless it's a visor for which 0.9.x versions are OK, and certain 0.11.x versions are known to cause problems with jpilot. If your visor/PC combination doesn't get on with specific versions of pilot-link then, by all means, try older versions. But I actually found that I needed 0.11.x to get my old visor to work on this PC. It seems to be a rather odd area that often requires fiddling.
