Just a gentle reminder now that we’re back on the trail of the group so to speak. Please don’t go down the road of discussion of Windows itself in this group. Discuss the configuration of the virtual machine, as you do in this post, that is fine. But please don’t go down the Windows road.
To answer your question. I believe you’ll probably find that if you change the number of processor cores you have active from the default “1” to “2”, you should see a vast improvement. This may cause your guest OS to need to be reactivated. I always advise people not to activate the thing immediately. Get it working first, decide whether or not you’re likely to take to the virtual environment and then decide whether you wish to activate the guest. Anyway, I hope that my suggestion is of help to you. But again as a gentle and general reminder to the group, please don’t discuss guest OS issues in this forum. Discuss the VM itself, that is fine, but not the guest. I now that probably sounds strange, and I am aware that it isn’t the way other groups work. But that has always been, and remains now, list policy. Thanks for your cooperation and understanding. ======================================== My Complements & Kindest Regards Gordon Smith [email protected] Accessibility & Information Technology Consultant & Advisor; Currently Seeking Employment! ---------------------------------------- On 2 May 2015, at 13:50, Brian Hartgen <[email protected]> wrote: Following my earlier message, I went ahead and installed Windows on the Mac this morning and got JAWS installed and activated. This was done as a virtual machine. While there are work arounds for the keyboard which I can carry out, what I cannot live with is the occasional dropout in audio. Sometimes, the screen reader will miss the first syllable of a word for example. I did allocate what I thought was enough memory for the Windows side. My questions are: If I get a USB soundcard to connect to it, is this likely to resolve the problem, or is this just one of the consequences of running it in a virtual machine? Is there a way of using the virtual machine configuration and convert it to bootcamp instead or do I have to start over and install again from the DVD media I have? <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to [email protected] You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at the list's public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/>.
