Hello Everyone,
I installed vista using vista and installed xp under fusion. I also
installed vm tools on both with no problems. I started out using jaws
9 now I am using 10. I do not seem to get the dvd working under
vista, otherwise everything is working as expected.

thanks, Mike. First of all, I had a chance to listen to your podcast
on running Windows under Fusion and found it very helpful. I did
indeed switch the key mapping off in Fusion. Unfortunatley, I had
already installed vmware tools before I had listened to your podcast
and Soren - who had done the same thing - tells me that although he
had uninstalled the tools, he still has problems with video
intercept in Jaws. I do seem to remember that whie installing vmware
tools, I had a warning message that some kind of VGA driver failed
to isntall. So maybe that's why.
The strange thing is that I have lost the use of windows key in the
virtual machine scroll area. you seemed to be doing things so
swimmingly there even though your scroll area wasn't in full screen
mode. I don't know why I can't seem to use the windows key so that,
for instance, windows+m doesn't seem to take me to the desktop nor
can I open the start menu in the usual way.
I have downloaded a demo version of Windows eyes and maybe I will
try with that.
Video intercept in Jaws has always been trouble and I find that Hal
has a similar problem.
With best wishes

I installed part of vmware tools, only the device drivers, that's
all you really need unless you want to share folders between
windows and the mac which I don't. Can't speak for Jaws since I
don't use it, but window eyes and system access both work great,
the window eyes video driver installed without problems. I did go
in to the preferences, and turn off all of fusion's key mapping, I
don't want it changing my keys.

Hello, I seem to be making progress with Fusion and jaws but there
are a few things happening:
1. I have to keep reactivating windows when I power on and when I
go to windows by choosing bootcamp partition at start up. Why is
this happening?
2. I have now lost the windows start key right next to the
spacebar on the left when I boot up straight into windows choosing
my bootcamp partition. Any ideas how I mightt regain it? Having
lost the windows key, I can't go to the desktop using Jaws
combination windows+m nor can I open the start up menu, so I had
to shut down windows brutally.
3. When under fusion I powered on bootcamp partition with windows,
Jaws was attempting to install video intercept and failed to do so.
On the positive side, I have installed vmware tools. Just a
thought but might this installation have interfered with my
windows key?
Your help would be appreciated as always. I'm trying not to lose
my nerve here. Smile!
With best wishes
Simon
