Simon,
You will have to reactivate your Jaws. When ever your processor,
memory, or system configuration changes , this includes some
aplications, paging file, etc.. You Ma have to update your ilm. They
will reset your count with no problem if you goto www.fsactivate.com
just enter your serial number and request a count reset.

Scott, Many thanks for this and do not worry about the shape of the
message. I'm after the content.
I also wondered, hoping that you might have some expereince with it,
about Jaws authorisation. At the moment I have Jaws running under
windows xp in boot partition. Once I install fusion, I understand I
will have an option of incorporating that boot partition into the
virtual drive - excuse my non-technical language here. Do you know
what might happen to my authorisation of Jaws 7.1? I know Freedom
Scientific are very precious about their product. I had to authorise
Jaws again after just adding my 2 GB of RAM. How strange. I have a
feeling I may have to authorise Jaws again should I incorporate my
bootcamp partition.
Thanks so much again for all your help.

Simon,
You can find the setting under the control panel in system, I
think that it is under proformance. There is a tab with memory and
virtual alocation. choose memory alocation. Choose do not use a
pageing file. This will require a reboot.
While you are doing this you could turn off system restore, because
you can just take snapshots with fusion. This will give you better
proformance by its self. You can also go under proformance and
change the setting to optimize for aplications or proformance in
stead of leaving it up to windows. Please forgive me for how bad
this message is written. I do not have a lot of time, I am still
getting use to the mail aplication, switching to windows. I will
answer any questions that you may have later today. I hope that
this gets you going anyway. Have a great day.

Dear Scott, David and Alex, Thanks for the info on the RAM
allocation. Where do I turn the paging/swapping off? Is it
obvious? Do I do it in Fusion?
Thanks again, Simon

Hi Simon,
If you are going to alocate two gig to xp you can turn off the
paging file or the sawap file. This can speed an speed up win xp
quite a bit.

HI Simon,
I'd use no more then 2gb as Window xp doesn't make use of ram
above that.
Since you have 4gb in your system, I'd go for 2gb and if you
have any
problems, decrease the ram by 256 until the problems cease.

Subject: RAM allocation and vmware fusion
Dear Listers,
In your experience, when running windows XP in bootcamp but via
vmware
fusion, how much RAM would you allocate to vmware fusion? I have
upgraded my RAM to 4 GB. Considering that I want the snappiest
system
possible, and that I will be running Jaws with Windows, how much
RAM
allocation do you recommend?
Thanks for your help. With best wishes, Simon
