Hi,

I am trying to get JAWS 10 installed on Windows XP running under Parallels 3 for Macintosh. The installer appears to run successfully then asks to restart the Virtual Machine. The VM crashes on restart after the Windows splash screen displays for a few moments. It will start up successfully in safe mode but running only in safe mode is not an option. Has anyone had success getting JAWS 10 to work in a Parallels VM? Does anyone have pointers to resources the might help? My searches on google and the freedom scientific site have not been helpful, though I did find one blog entry from 2007 that said they had gotten it to work, but no specific versions or steps were mentioned.

Thank you for any information you can provide,
--Susan
