Hello Sarah, I'm not running Fusion, but what's happening, at least with the F10 key, is that you're running into conflicts with the existing key definitions for the Mac. The F10 key is used for Exposé on the Mac side, and you definitely want to disable the key definitions, because you're not

I'd be all for that, if NVDA had real support for apps like Outlook and Excel. Right now, it only has the most basic support, and that isn't good enough if you need them for work. Bryan -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com]

Its easier to use Sharp Keys inside Windows and remap keys that way, rather than using VMware's mapping tools. VMware doesn't do so well with remapping modifier keys, for example. Sharp Keys will remap anything. Bryan -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com

What are the advantages to using this over the main Skype client? Skype works great with VoiceOver. Terminal works, but I don't think that I'd prefer to use terminal apps over GUI apps and VoiceOver. Are their extra features not available from the GUI? Bryan -Original Message- From:

It is easy to detect if your software is in a VM. At least, for VMware, if a program queries the computer manufacturer, it says that the computer was made by VMware. *smile* Bryan -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On

Yep. Capslock key won't work in a VM. Nothing you can do about it. Get a program for Windows like Sharp Keys, and remap another key on your keyboard to be the Windows capslock key. You can remap the right command key to be the Windows caps lock key, for example. Bryan -Original

So far, the only one that I've found to work is the screen sharing in IChat. It isn't perfect. When you connect to someone, IChat brings up audio and video chat at the same time as screen sharing. You can operate their VoiceOer from your keyboard, but you can only hear VoiceOver through their

Hi, Actually, that's not quite correct. CAPS lock works fine for me in Fusion running Windows, though using it as a JAWS key doesn't work. However, it does register both keypresses, and even if you hold it down and hit a JAWS function in keyboard help it will register. Strange, I know. But

A DMG is the installer for most aps. Other applications come in a PKG or a package installer. To install an application, open the DMg, then copy the application to the applications folder. A PKG is more like a windows install, with a nex button. Open the PKG, then, click install. Hth,

Wow, didn't think it was that simple. I thought Steve Gipson said it'd be very difficult to detect whether you were in a VM or not. another part that's common in VMWare is the ridiculously old sound card, haven't heard of Ensonic since the first days of onboard sound, or maybe that was ISA back

Technically easy, but maybe not so easy for other reasons. For example, I'd like to continue using Jaws for my Windows needs, but, if they were to lock out VMware, it doesn't matter what I'd like to do. I'd have to use Window Eyes. It isn't some sort of ultimatum, or a finger in their eye. I
