A list is:
NVDA/Window-eyes | Parrellels | UI not accessible with Voiceover |
Commercial
JFW/Window-Eyes/NVDA | VMware Fussion | UI is Compatable with
Voiceover | commercial
Untested | Virtualbox | UI not compatable with Voiceover | free
Thanks for listening,

Hi David:
Thankss for the info. Yes, when I asked my question, I didn't know
you could run the operating systems side by side. If you run them at
the same time, could you access the windows environment easily and
does that mean that you need to have a windows screen reader
installed in the Windows environment? I am so new to the MAC
environment so I am probably asking what seems to be obvious
questions. In fact, I am still waiting to receive my MacBook which
should hopefully arrive in the next couple of days. It has been very
helpful to join this list as I have already learnt a lot just by
reading your emails.
Thank you,
Kamal

Hi Kamal and all,

you want to run windows alone when you run it and not have both
operating
systems running at the same time. If this is not correct, delete
this
message; but if so, read on for a tip or two.
You will need sighted assistance if you want to set your partition
size to
anything but the defaults provided by bootcamp and you will need
sighted
assistance once the windows installation starts. There is a guide
for using
bootcamp to install windows, but essentually, you start the process
by
launching the booot camp assistant from the utilities folder.
follow the
onscreen instructions. I can send you the guide if you don't have
it. When
the windows installation is finished, insert your leopard cd while
windows
is running and install the drivers for supporting windows on your
mac, this
is sound video, wireless bluetooth and a host of other things. you
will
have no sound till this is done.
Once windows is installed, you can choose which os you want to run by
default from either windows or mac os sides. It's easiest to do it
from the
mac os side though. To select an os, you hold down the option key
as the
mac chimes at start up, release it after a few seconds and then
right arrow
to choose the os that is not chosen as default. To run the default
os you
have chosen to have run automatically at start up, just start the
mac in the
normal way.
HTH!

Subject: Installing Windows XP on the MacBook
Hi all:
Just wondering if someone could explain how to
install Windows XP on a MacBook as a second
operating system. Also do you need sighted
assistance to choose which operating system you
want to boot from when you start your notebook. ?
I am assuming that I am able to use my windows
screen reader when i load Windows OSÉ
Thanks,
Kamal
