Thanks.  I'll look for that program.

I have installed VM Ware tools as I believed it as necessary to allow JFW to 
work...something about the display.  At any rate, now, when I start up Windows 
XP in the virtual machine JFW asks me if I want to install the video intercept. 
 It doesn't seem to allow me to actually install it so, I'm wondering if it is 
necessary as JFW, aside from the Jaws cursor, seems to work alright.

Thx,
Jeff
