I downloaded the trial version of this software and I went am having
some issues with it. I don't have an install disc for my PC because it
didn't come with one so I had VM convert my PC to a virtual machine. I
did everything the video said to do and it isn't working. when I go to
load up VMware and XP I get this error message. "Your guest operating
system is Windows XP and you have one or more virtual SCSI devices
installed in your virtual machine. Please be aware that Windows XP
does not support the BusLogic SCSI adapter that VMware Fusion
currently uses for its virtual SCSI devices. If you have not done so
already, you will need to install our driver in the virtual machine.
You can download the driver from our Web site at "http://vmware.com/info?id=43
".
Click OK to continue or Cancel to abort." Has anyone else had this
problem? I went to the website it says to go to and i don't see what
to download.
Any advice?

This is a commercial program that emulates a PC. So it's a software
application into which you can load Linux, Windows or whatever a
regular hardware PC can do. When running Windows they install some
add ons so you can do things like cut and paste between the virtual
PC and your Mac apps and share folders/drives/devices between them.
That said, as far as VO is concerned, the virtual PC (usually called
a virtual machine) window is just a big bitmap image that happens to
visually appear like Windows XP or whatever you're running. So while
VMWare's setup and configuration is nice and VO compliant, you'll be
reliant on the "guest OS" for any accessibility inside the
container. So you'll want Jaws or WindowEyes installed if your going
to put windows in your virtual machine or Orca if you're running
GNOME on Linux etc.
