Re: running windows along side the mac
Hi can you write to me offlist if necessary and tell me more about key remapping? I have an application that uses the f 11 and f 12 keys in windows and I can't seem to get it to work. thanks regards Maria and crew from australia email: bubbygirl1...@gmail.com check out www.powerradio104.us where we play lots of great music On 24/09/2012, at 8:44 AM, Eric Caron ecar...@comcast.net wrote: Hi Cameron, I have run windows both in bootcamp and in VM Fusion. Both have advantages so I don't think you can say for sure bootcamp is better. Currently I'm running my Macbook pro with VM Fusion and Windows 7. I have many applications running on both systems and am changing between operating systems quickly and easily. I don't have the need to keep restarting my computer to run programs in the different operating systems. It is still kind of like magic. You will need a pretty powerful Mac to do this but it works well. And, I do like being able to install windows without sighted help. I've done it about three times now in the past few years. Also, I think KeyRemap4Macbook will easily take care of the key remapping needs if you use fusion, or the built in key remapping in VM Fusion works pretty well. Sharpkeys would be needed in bootcamp. I found Sharp keys a challenge to use but it does work. Bootcamp is certainly better if your Mac has limited resources. If you want the caps lock key on the Windows side in a screen reader like Jaws to work closely like that on a PC then you need to go the VM Fusion route with KeRemapper4Macbook. I spend most of my computer time at home on the Mac side but it is great to just tab over and have Windows apps just work. Best.

If it's a microsoft developer version or a retail version, you should have no issues assuming you have your product key handy. Installing windows via bootcamp and having a dual boot system is a better idea than running windows virtually from within OSX. You'll need sighted assistance on the first couple of screens of the windows seven installer as they chose not to make it entirely accessible with narrator. After you agree to the ula and select the new empty partition you created in bootcamp, then you should be able to launch narrator and finish the install/setup on your own. (Windows key U and then alt N to launch narrator. Keep in mind that your windows key and alt key will be swapped on the mac unless you use a utility like sharp keys to remap them.) You will need a USB headset or other plug and play USB sound device to do this. I hope that helps. Cameron.

RE: running windows along side the mac
So there were steps provided earlier from a lister on how to use bootcamp. One part said: It will ask you how large you want the bootcamp partition to be. I think you have voiceover support here. It is a slider to adjust how large the mac partition is vs. the windows partition. How much should be for each OS? I have 4 gigs of memory for both machines. The one that will be the primary should have the most right? Or am I not getting this. I am almost at the point of starting the process. Lol, I'm just afraid I might break something haha. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

RE: running windows along side the mac
Hello everyone. There's no question about it, Windows runs faster in Bootcamp for me. I also don't have problems with loss of Software activations in JAWS.

I'm going to start the bootcamp today or tomorrow after work. I'm just gathering all of the notes people are sending and go from there.

Re: running windows along side the mac
I believe that you will need a license for both systems. I can try to create a podcast of steps. but here is what i remember. 1. have your windows disk ready. 2. Go to utilities and bootcamp. 3. start bootcamp and it will walk you through a wizard. It will ask you if you want to create a windows partition, and download drivers. note: you will have speech with voiceover with this. After you download the drivers and make a dvd or cd of them, you will need to have sited assistance. It will ask you how large you want the bootcamp partition to be. I think you have voiceover support here. It is a slider to adjust how large the mac partition is vs. the windows partition. You will not be able to undue this option without re-installing again. Then the computer will reboot and you will have to click next and i accept. It will ask you if you want to do a custom install or upgrade. i always have chose custom. Then it will ask you where you want it installed. Hit bootcamp and advanced. This is very important. Now hit format. and next. Now the computer will go to work, and will restart a few times. You will need a usb audio device of some sort. or you can have sited assistance with the setup screen. Next make sure to have that cd or dvd of the drivers. you will be able to use the function keys just like in Mac os. Hope that helps anybody. Feel free to email me with further questions. Thanks.

Re: running windows along side the mac
Hi. If it is an OEM copy of windows, it probably won't work. If it's a microsoft developer version or a retail version, you should have no issues assuming you have your product key handy. Installing windows via bootcamp and having a dual boot system is a better idea than running windows virtually from within OSX. You'll need sighted assistance on the first couple of screens of the windows seven installer as they chose not to make it entirely accessible with narrator. After you agree to the ula and select the new empty partition you created in bootcamp, then you should be able to launch narrator and finish the install/setup on your own. (Windows key U and then alt N to launch narrator. Keep in mind that your windows key and alt key will be swapped on the mac unless you use a utility like sharp keys to remap them.) You will need a USB headset or other plug and play USB sound device to do this. I hope that helps. Cameron.

Re: running windows along side the mac
Hi Cameron, I have run windows both in bootcamp and in VM Fusion. Both have advantages so I don't think you can say for sure bootcamp is better. Currently I'm running my Macbook pro with VM Fusion and Windows 7. I have many applications running on both systems and am changing between operating systems quickly and easily. I don't have the need to keep restarting my computer to run programs in the different operating systems. It is still kind of like magic. You will need a pretty powerful Mac to do this but it works well. And, I do like being able to install windows without sighted help. I've done it about three times now in the past few years. Also, I think KeyRemap4Macbook will easily take care of the key remapping needs if you use fusion, or the built in key remapping in VM Fusion works pretty well. Sharpkeys would be needed in bootcamp. I found Sharp keys a challenge to use but it does work. Bootcamp is certainly better if your Mac has limited resources. If you want the caps lock key on the Windows side in a screen reader like Jaws to work closely like that on a PC then you need to go the VM Fusion route with KeRemapper4Macbook. I spend most of my computer time at home on the Mac side but it is great to just tab over and have Windows apps just work. Best.

Re: running windows along side the mac
Yes running it virtually will work and you do have the advantage of being able to switch from mac OSX to windows without a restart. However, my main issues with running windows virtually is that running both operating systems side by side taxes your ram and processor a lot more and could also effect data read/write if you have a 5400rpm drive. Also, there have been some issues with certain drivers and software authorization when running windows virtually, although this seems to happen less with windows seven... Of course, these things are probably of little concern for people doing non intensive general computing on a daily basis. I use both my macs for audio production work so need to be a tad paranoid about CPUand ram usage etc. Just my two cents... Cameron.

If it's a microsoft developer version or a retail version, you should have no issues assuming you have your product key handy. Installing windows via bootcamp and having a dual boot system is a better idea than running windows virtually from within OSX. You'll need sighted assistance on the first couple of screens of the windows seven installer as they chose not to make it entirely accessible with narrator. After you agree to the ula and select the new empty partition you created in bootcamp, then you should be able to launch narrator and finish the install/setup on your own. (Windows key U and then alt N to launch narrator. Keep in mind that your windows key and alt key will be swapped on the mac unless you use a utility like sharp keys to remap them.) You will need a USB headset or other plug and play USB sound device to do this. I hope that helps. Cameron.

Another question is can I run it on my dell machine, the macbook pro or will I have to install it using the mac. Holy heck, hope that made sense.

Re: running windows along side the mac
Hi, in your finder, press command shift U. This will land you on your utility folder. In this folder is the bootcamp assistant. Run this. By the way, I think this was mentioned earlier in the thread but, you will need to get a retail or builder copy of windows.
