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?

Hi Sara,

I've tried 2gb as well but because Jaws was sluggish, I went to 4gb but no
go.  Mind you, wineyes had no probs both using 2 or 4gb.  The version of
jaws I'm using is 9.

I'm only guessing here and totally don't know what I'm talking about, but
I'd actually suggest trying 2gb ram. I heard or read somewhere that 32-bit
os's can't really use 4gb anyway. Don't know if this could cause trouble but

maybe worth a try in a test virtual machine? Also, the version of jaws might

affect it?
I love and have both but sometimes it's a matter of what people bought first

and can afford etc.

HI,

Sure people are using Jaws in fusion.  But there is a difference to using
Jaws and actually doing something meaningful with it.  I mean Jaws works
fine for me if all I want to do is wander around the screen and type a few
documents in notepad etc etc.  But audio work and using apps that put a
load
on the processor is not a goer for me.  Don't get me wrong, I love Jaws
and
would be the last to say it didn't work for me cause I'm not a fan of
Wineyes usually but I can only tell as I see it smile.  If Jaws works for
you then fine. Oh yes, and I am running fusion on a mac pro with 8 gb ram
two 2.8 4 cor processors.  My VM is configured to use 2 processors but
have
run it in a vm that has 1 processor.  It is configured to use 4GB Ram.
Yeah
I think if Jaws was going to work that'd be enough power for it?  Oh yes,
I
have all of my VMS in full screen.

David et al,


Jaws is fine with Fusion.  I discovered I needed to be in full screen,
so problem solved.

Hi,

Advise what?  It's a pretty broad question.  Personally I wouldn't worry
about Jaws under fusion.  I think Window Eyes works the best in a fusion
virtual machine.  For me, Jaws ran very slow and when intense activity
was
taking place, the eloquence of Jaws stuttered and became distorted.
Also,
Jaws crashed a bit as well.  I have had none of these problems using
Wineyes.

Hi,

Can anyone please advise?  Thanks,

Ray

When I run Fusion, I hear Jaws but any key stroke has no effect on
Jaws.
