Hank - you're seeing that behaviour because the jaws video intercept isn't
installed I think.
I don't have fusion on my system currently, but from memory if you load it
up you get the virtual machines library window. If you cursor up and down
you'll see a list of the machines you've built. Leave the machine you want
to tinker with under the cursor and tab to settings. hit space on settings,
and after that it's more about using your VO keys and arrows. I don't recall
the window layout exactly but there's a table to interact with that gives
you a load of categories, and the one you're looking for is graphics. VO
keys space on that to select it, stop interracting with the table, and do
some exploring to find the settings it's bought up, you're looking for the
check box that says something like enable 3d graphics acceleration. Check
that, and VO your way to ok.
Next time you start up, if it hasn't done this already Jaws should hopefully
ask you to install the video interceptor and will probably need to reboot
the virtual machine. For me, as from then, I was in business with a jaws
cursor.
I should stress again that this only worked in a separate virtual machine
that was completely unrelated to my bootcamp partition. If you want to
virtualise your bootcamp partition and have working video intercept running
native and virtualised, it's totally beyond me, but be sure to post back if
you find out how it can be done.
Hope that helps
Scott

Doug - here's my findings so far with Fusion.
I was able to install the freedom scientific video intercept running xp
under Fusion, but here's the catch. I had to have a separate virtual
machine from my bootcamp partition, which means using 2 of your Jaws
activations if you want the native performance of bootcamp and also the
option of virtualisation if you're in a hurry to get to windows, though I
wonder why you would be haha. I'm not sure if that's totally legal under
the jaws ULA, and frankly for me the extra effort keeping everything tidy
and files viewable to all 3 OS's just wasn't worth the headache, so now
I just use bootcamp for my diminishing windows needs.
The Fusion route is doable, just might take a bit of thinking and
tinkering before you get your system exactly how you want it, and if you
didn't want bootcamp too things would be a lot simpler. I did notice a
few keyboard issues with Jaws, and until you enable the Vmware makeshift
3d graphics acceleration thingy in the settings for the virtual machine
there were a few things that didn't read such as tab controls.
Anyone who's wondering about this stuff who already owns a windows
licence, I'd really recommend downloading the 30 day evaluation of Fusion
to see if it works for you or not, it's the best way to tell.
hope that helps
Scott

fusion has similar issues.

What about using fusion?

Hi,
Parallels and jAWS does not interact correctly. Parallels emulates
an grafphic device driver. This driver could not be removed, so
JAWS can not install its own special driver.
