Yeah, I should've mentioned that. Jaws does not work well in virtual machines. Window-Eyes is the solution of choice for this, and, in my humble opinion, a better screen reader than Jaws for Windows in any case.

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.
