[JAWSLite] Re: Solution: jaws in virtual machine

Thanks for the information.

I'm curious why you think running VMWare under Windows seems totally
backwards to you. Given how much room Windows and JAWS like to take up, and
how finicky Windows is about the HW it runs on, I always thought it made
more sense to run Windows on the HW itself and run Linux in a virtual
machine. A few jobs ago, this is how we had our laptops configured. We tried
it the other way around, but we found Windows was just too slow running in a
virtual machine.

Subject: [JAWSLite] Solution: jaws in virtual machine

FYI:

I asked a few weeks ago if anyone had gotten jaws to work in a linux vmware
virtual machine.  Well, I got it to work using vmware workstation for linux
and jaws 10. The combination of vmware server2  (the free product) and jaws
9 did not work. Each time I started jaws, it would try to install the video
intercept manager and fail. This meant the jaws cursor wouldn't work which
makes jaws practically unusable. However, upgrading to vmware workstation
and jaws 10 worked.

I don't know a thing about vmware for Windows. Running a virtual machine in
Windows seems totally backward to me so I never gave that a try.
