Hi,
The other programme that can be used to run windows on a Mac is VMware Fusion –
I’ve not used it myself but am aware of others who have and all works ok apart
from a bit of key mapping to begin with.
Cheers,
Phil

Hi Alan,
It was the higher specs one with the flash hard drive. He got it last year so
it's not the newer Air that has come out recently. Yes, the Air is very elegant
and really nice.
Apple tech support are usually good but this time they got it completely wrong
it seems. Unless the "next generation" Mac Book Air has changed that it can't
take Windows, which I very much doubt, you shouldn't have a problem.
Using an application called Mac Boot, you can install Windows on your Mac and
at start up choose whether to boot in Windows or the Leopard. That is the
method my brother is using and I believe there are other apps than Mac Boot out
there to do a similar job. I can't remember the name of the app but there's one
that lets you run Windows in a virtual environment from within Leopard itself.
He's only been using Jaws on the Mac Air for a couple of weeks but running
Windows 7 home pro and Jaws 12, he says the setup is working nicely and the
system is fast and responsive.
My brother has remapped the keyboard to account for the loss of some Windows
keys on the Mac, but he says it is still fiddly to invoke some Jaws functions.
That is the main criticism he has for now. There's another small issue with the
soundcard drivers it looks as sometimes Jaws stutters a little when it start
speaking.
If you have just bought your Mini you'll be able to exchange it to a Mac Air
easily from the Apple store. I recall one has seven days or it actually might
have been fortnights as a cooling off period.
HTH,
Amro

Hi Alan, my brother has just started using Windows 7 and Jaws on a Mac Air. If
you have a question I can ask him on your behalf.
Cheers,
Amro

Hi John
We are both using internet explorer with windows 7 and both using version 12
JAWS (i have the 40min demo version).
He can tab around the browser window and each control can be made active (it
turns orange), but neither the space or the enter key work to activate the
option.
Jane

Hi Jane. Are you and the client both using JAWS, or only the client? What
version(s)? Is the virtual PC cursor active?
What browser are you both using? What version(s)?
Thanks.
John

Hi
For some reason my clients keyboard strokes will not work through iplayer.
Space or enter is required to activate and play or pause a program. They
don't work. But everything works fine on my laptop.
We both have the laptop keyboard setup. I have gone through the settings and
cannot replicate what is happening on the clients machine.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Jane askew
