[macvoiceover] Re: Fusuon and Jaws

Hi Sara,

I am using Windows xp pro.  Yes, I've tried 2gb and 1 processor as well
although the processor shouldn't make a difference as I have 8 cor on this
mac pro smile.  I just came back from a trip away where I had to use my Mac
mini and Jaws was so awful for what I wanted to do I took it off and put
Wineyes on.  It worked great then.  Having said that, if people are having
good success with jaws in their virtual machines then great stuff.  I know
that I wouldn't touch jaws in a vm again.  It's been good as I've had to
learn Wineyes and it's not that bad.  I hope though that wineyes 7 will work
ok in a vm.

Hi there. Hmmm, that's too bad. I don't know anymore ideas...oh wait, which 
windows are you using? I've had terrible problems with sluggish speech from 
vista because of bad sound drivers which made me give up vista...but I had 
them with Window-Eyes so that's probably not it...
Did you try it with 2gb and 1processor?
