Hi Marlon,
I will get that information if it becomes necessary. Thanks.

Hello Jim,
First of all you need to let me know what OS is running on the virtual
machine. In order to run any systen in a virtual machine, the system
in the virtual machine needs to have a screen reader installed on it.
JAWS installed in your machine won't read the window in which the
virtual machine is running in, because vmware draws the pixels in the
window. So if you have a windows machine with vmware installed in it
and you're trying to use a virtual machine with linux without a screen
reader installed on it you won't be able to do it. Futther more, if
your host and client are in the same machine the virtual machine can
use the host's sound card, providing you with the virtual machine
audio feedback, so that you can use the screen reader installed on it
to run the virtual machine. But, if your virtual machine is installed
somewhere else, vmware will get the video from the virtual machine but
not the audio. In this senarius perhaps a JAWS remote access could be
set from the virtual machine to your machine. If you can describe the
situation with more details please send me a personal note and I can
try to help.
Thanks,
Marlon

When you say "I wrote a program that crashed Windows," people just
stare at you blankly and say "Hey, I got those with the system, for
free."
