Yes, you diagnosed that right. If you must use JAWS within the VM, deleting
the JAWS mirror display driver will allow JAWS to run without crashing. Of
course, much of the JAWS functionality will be lost.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Jaws and windows 7 VM?
Hi List.
I wonder if someone can help me with the problem i'm having. I'm testing
Windows7 using a program called VMPlayer, this allows people to test
operating systems from within windows or linux as a virtual operating
system before physical deployment. The problem i've got is with jaws
11.0.756. I've installed it successfully, but jaws freezes at random
times, and when it does, i get a blue screen of death. This does not
happen with NVDA or when jaws isn't running. The freezing problem also
occurs when jaws is running and i click on shutdown. My suspicions lie
with the mirror driver, is this the problem? I haven't heard of this
problem when installed as a normal installation, maybe its something to do
with the VMWare display component?
I've tried changing resolution, turning off visual effects, should i
disable 3D? i haven't tried installing direct X, but i didn't think jaws
used direct X at all? has anyone got any ideas what could make windows 7
freeze like that? I've also tried using the gineric windows7 graphics
adapter driver and completely removing the VMWare driver, but jaws still
freezes. I mentioned disabling 3D, don't quote me, but i'm not sure if the
gineric adapter driver uses 3D or not? I've checked online for updates,
driver updates included, no joy. Any help would be greatly apreciated.
All the best,
Mo.
