I don't have any problems with jaws and bootcamp. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lewis Brock" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS X by theblind" <discuss@macvisionaries.com> Sent: Friday, February 29, 2008 8:57 AM Subject: Re: Question for those of you who also use Windows
the problem with jaws on bootcamp is actually rather simple but its something freedom scientific wont be touching so I'm told. Because of DCM drivers and the display manager not being able to properly support the drivers of the graphics cards on macs as they are newer hardware and using a different protocol jaws just has a fit. I've tested it with different versions of jaws with bootcamp configured and fusion with interesting results. bootcamp just about supports it but with quirky behaviours. fusion starts arguing constantly with the driver routines. once again freedomscientific wont want to think of it lol typical of a company who when asked 6 years plus ago about having a version of jaws developed for the mac they told us to wonder off politely lol lewy On 29 Feb 2008, at 13:51, Tim Grady wrote: > Depends on how you use a computer.
