Hi! Actually Lynne, reading his message this is actually relevant to Windows and does not have anything to do with Fusion.
Firstly, Fusion does run faster under Lion with Fusion 4, there is no question about that and also works with Windows 8. That is what I use. One important thing to understand here is that if you enter an authorization with JAWS or similar products, they often depend on the hardware specifications. This means that if you change RAM, JAWS will think it is an entirely new computer and wants you to reauthorize the application and use another key. Keeping in mind that you are potentially changing the specifications but virtually, this has the same effect and also has the same effect on a physical PC. To make the old authorization work again, simply return the specifications to those which you were using when the authorization was working for you, down to the last detail. Again, this applies to a physical PC as well, which is why I deemed it relevant. This is in part why I use NVDA, as it allows me to experiment with various configurations without having to use all five JAWS activations. I suppose that you could find the best configuration for you then authorize JAWS, or simply load NVDA onto your machine then authorize JAWS if you find that you like the current configuration.
