I was attempting to install Jaws on my Parallels instance of Windows XP
and couldn't seem to get the video intercept thing to work. First time I
would start Jaws it complained that video intercept was not installed so
I let it install. After that Parallels had startup issues and wouldn't
work again until I reinstalled the Parallels Tools, which installs their
video driver again. Anyone else run into this? How important is the
video intercept thingy? My initial playing around seemed to work as far
as Jaws reading web pages in IE and such. I had similar issues with
VMWare on Windows. Yes, I was running an instance of Windows in a VM on
Windows. I was doing that so I could install IE7 without wiping out my
IE6. Anyway, it appears that all these virtual machines have their own
custom video driver and don't play well with the Jaws one.

Parallels Desktop for Mac is a program that creates a virtual second
computer when it is run. It is on this virtual computer that you
install another operating system, like Windows. So, yes, you install
Parallels first. As has already been pointed out, Fusion is another
option from VMWare which does essentially the same thing with better
accessibility, although Parallels is usable once you have your OS
installed.

I am aiming to get a MacBook with Parallels so I can run XP Pro. I
have a few questions. First, how accessible is it? Will I be able to
use it effectively and independently? Second, I'd like to know how I
can switch back and forth between Windows and Mac as I am in a program
where I need to study Windows, but I still want to do Mac on the side.
And finally, do I need to install Parallels before Windows? If I do,
how can I install Windows after that? Thanks for the help.
