Re: Fusion and Windows 8.1

Hello, Can you think of an example of one of these dialogs that popped up? I have installed Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 with VMWare Fusion and I can absolutely confirm that the installation is fully automated and no dialogs interupt it at any point. This is by design, and is the reason the easy insta

Re: Fusion and Windows 8.1

I had to hit enter every 5 minutes or so. Sometimes dialogs pop up - confirmed this with a sighted person. Also, as long as you do not enter a password in the setup screen you should be logged in automatically. -Shaf On 6/19/2015 3:58 AM, Grant wrote: Since there is no guarantee that the use

Re: Fusion and Windows 8.1

Since there is no guarantee that the user will be logged in automatically, trying to open the run dialog might not work. WINDOWS+ENTER is guaranteed to work unless something goes wrong, so it is the better option for starting Narrator. Also, there should be no need to hit ENTER every few minutes

Windows 8 VM and external sound card

Apparently either windows 8 doesn't like USB sound cards, or it's a VM conflict. Plugging in an external USB sound card to the VM renders all sound useless regardless of volume settings in Windows 8. Tried reinstalling drivers with no luck. Anybody found a fix for this? -Shaf -- You received

1. Yes. Enter relevant information in setup screen and hit enter every 5 minutes during installation. 2. Probably not. 3. win+r, Narrator, enter. On 6/19/2015 12:43 AM, Marshall Scott wrote: Hi Folks, I'm about to take the plunge and install Windows 8.1 into a virtual machine. Since I've nev

Re: Fusion and Windows 8.1

Hi Marshall, congratulations on taking the plunge! The installation using VMWare's "easy install" method can be done without sighted help. VMWare asks all the relevant questions up front, then automates the Windows setup. In Windows 8.1, you don't have a startup sound by default. However, about

Re: Fusion and Windows 8.1

Hi Marshall, I unfortunately can't answer your second question, but I can answer the first. You can install the windows machine in VMWare Fusion with no sighted assistance required. It will walk you through the setup process, and then it will take a while, maybe about half to an hour to complete.

Fusion and Windows 8.1

Hi Folks, I'm about to take the plunge and install Windows 8.1 into a virtual machine. Since I've never done a Windows 8.1 install before I have three questions. 1. Can this installation be done without sighted help? 2. Are there any gotchas in the installation process? 3. How do I turn on Narrat

There's a preference for it, yes, but I find that the sound often disappears randomly. Connecting headphones or restarting the Mail app always brings it back. > On Jun 18, 2015, at 2:38 PM, Angus MacKinnon wrote: > > I seem to have pressed some key stroke that turned on a sound when a email >

Strange, I’ve always found that forum very agreeable as compared to many other boards (though it’s still no substitute for mail, obviously). But I agree that the easiest way of dealing with the header of every message is to simply skip it line by line, which means simply getting into the habit
