Just to answer my own question.
James on the NVDA list pointed out that the Version of Java Access Bridge
I
was using does not work with up to date versions of Java . He pointed me
to
a link to Java Access Bridge 2 rather than 1. This could helpfully be
signposted a little more clearly on the sun Micro pages as Checking
Google
there are loads of people who have made the same mistake as I did and
who
have not received the helpful advice I did. Most people are being told to
re-install Java which will not help at all.
So far the Access Bridge works with Jaws and Open Office but does not work
with the latest snapshot of NVDA. I will try the stable version of NVDA to
see if that improves matters.

I do have Java installed. It is there in my system tray. However I
redownloaded the installation and ran an update. At the end I received a
message that Java had been successfully updated.
I again ran the install.exe in the Java Access Bridge and again got the
message.
No Java VMs found
No Java virtual machines found which will support the Java Access
Bridge. Search more?
Accepting the option to search more creates a bizarre error message saying
"no disc ". This error message in turn is impossible to exit from unless
you restart your computer. I copied the Java Access Bridge folder onto
the
c drive but received identical results.
User friendly this is not!
Has anybody else got any idea?

Hi,
I think the error you are getting is because the Java Access Bridge cannot
find the Java run time environment. This means you do not have a version
of
Java installed on your computer. This means you will have to go to the
Java
web site and install the latest Java version. You can get the Java run
time
environment at the following address:
http://www.java.com/en/download/windows_automatic.jsp
Once you have installed the Java run time environment, uninstall and
reinstall the Java Access Bridge. This will hopefully get things working
for
you.
As a side note, I have not found Open Office to be very accessible. It is
difficult to use for someone who must use a screen reader.
Good luck,
Ryan

Dear List
Can anybody help with this query.
I am considering a Project where I try and make available training in free
screen reading / office software for a local low vision forum. I need to
test this out for feasibility. I am going to use NVDA and Open Office.
The stumbling block I have is that I need to install the Java Access
Bridge
. I have download the zip file from Sum systems and run the installer.exe
file which is found in the Installer directory of the extracted folder The
notes accompanying the files are a model of how not to set up user
friendly
guidance..
The error message I receive when I run this installer.exe is "something
like
error - no VM found". Does anybody know what is going on here? Also in
the
extracted folder are a couple of dll files. Can I simply copy them
somewhere
for this to all work? Is there a simpler access bridge installer which I
can
download and use? I have virtualised the access bridge folder below if
that
is any help for anybody..
