Hi there. As far as jaws is concerned, not sure about 9, but i have 7.1 running with vmware server free adition, on windows server 2003 as the host machine, I can use all of the vmware functions, get around the vmware application interface, and also install it on vertual machines, the machine i am sending this from is infact, a vertual. One thing i must say though, is server 2003 will require the audio drivers, your best searching google for this, if you install server 2003, for example, install the vmware tools, i think it has some ishues with some sound cards, but you can have it running audio in a vertual, i think. Searches like windows server 2003 vmware audio might help if googled, i think there should be some info there. Windows xp works fine in a vertual environment. I can not speak for jaws 9, but like i said i can use jaws both on guests, and the host, with no problems, i can even switch between the host and guest running at the same time, remote desktop is ok to use, and 7.1 works fine. Kind regards: Jamie. ----- Original Message ----- From: Brent Harding To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, November 26, 2007 4:47 AM Subject: Re: Jaws 9.0 with Vmware ESX I heard people say that JFW won't support installing the video intercept thingy into VMWare guests. I wonder if that is still the case? ----- Original Message ----- From: Andrew Hodgson To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, November 25, 2007 1:22 PM Subject: Jaws 9.0 with Vmware ESX Hi, Just wondering whether anyone here has used Jaws 9.0 in a Vmware ESX environment? I need to do some complex testing, and have been advised that it may be better to get rid of all the machines cluttering up on the desk! The guests would be Windows 2003 servers and XP clients. I realise there will be no Jaws when in the Vmware specific screens, but will it work in the guests? Thanks. Andrew.
