Hi,
This has been discussed on the Windows 7 list. Unfortunately, it is not
possible to use JAWS in a Windows XP mode environment. Virtual PC
creates a terminal session by default, and JAWS doesn't understand that
it's not actually a terminal session; rather a virtual terminal

In order for the JAWS window to show the correct number of upgrades
available, the JAWS authorization on that computer must be up to date. If
you're not sure that it is, you can do Update Authorization from the JAWS
