Hmm. I'm getting speech just fine running XP with Jaws 8 in Parallels.
I'm using IE6 and can tab around, read headers and all the basics.
That's why I wasn't sure what I was missing out on without the video
intercept. At least I tried a whole bunch of surfing around and couldn't
find anything that didn't work right. Navigating tables, jumping between
headers, going in and out of forms mode etc. One nice thing is that
while in Parallels Apple VO sort of gets out of the way. I guess it just
sees the parallels window as a big indescribable bitmap.

As I understand it, video intercept and/or Display Chain Management is
what generates the speech in Windows 2000 and XP and perhaps Vista,
although I haven't used Vista. Without it, you wouldn't have speech
generated. Products like System Access and NVDA and Thunder are not
affected by the Video Intercept issues because they don't use it to
enerate speech. Richie Gardenhirre, Anchorage, Alaska. Read Message

Re: Questions about Parallels
The article seemed to indicate that Jaws worked just fine and to
ignore the video intercept installation prompt. Is there something I
won't be able to do in Jaws without the video intercept? I'm a Jaws
novice so I might have missed something.

You'll have better luck with VMWare Fusion when it comes to JAWS
