Hi Chris It's possible that it's a Fusion issue, but I doubt it because I've used it with WE 7.2 in the past with no problems. I guess I'll try it again with 7.2 then upgrade to 7.5 when I can be bothered. To tell you the truth Windows doesn't do much for me these days anyway. Personal choice, of course. But I find Windows a bit cumbersome. That said there's no doubt it does have advantages. For instance, VoiceOver struggles with Ajax websites.

I can install a VM of Windows XP and add Window-Eyes with no issues under VMware Player for Windows. Oh well let's hope NVDA works. It should.
