when you first launch the program you are prompted to create a vurtual
machine and that portion is not accessible with voice over.

Oh. I was confused when you said
"you can't set up vertual machines with parilells"
when it seemed like that's what I was doing.

What do you mean by virtual machines? I currently run two instances or
virtual machines. One with XP and IE6 and one with XP and IE7. Works
ncie for testing web development stuff. I hadn't really hit any issues
with Jaws under parallels but I mostly use it to test web accessibility
so there may be problems outside the web browser. My understanding is
that the video intercept was some kind of screen scraping system for old
ill-behaved windows apps, so it may not really be needed for web
browsers.

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.
