Simon,
I would strongly suggest that you download a newer version of Jaws
and install it on your bootcamp partition. I used version 9 with no
problem. After you get this working under bootcamp, then restart
under fusion. This will allow you to experiment with windows and your
version 7 of jaws. I have installed jaws 10 this afternoon and it is
working fine. When you install the vmware tools a windo is soposto
pop up like a drive is discovered. Windows asks you what you would
like to do. You have the option to look at the files in windows
explorer or run the setup. You choose the setup and the tools install
just like any other windows application. Good luck Have a great day.

Well, Listers, if I ever thought running fusion was going to be
plain sailing, I should eat my words.
So, I now have Fusion installed and I try to run my Windows choosing
bootcamp partition. I go to vmware menu and choose "power on".
Windows starts booting and I hear my Jaws 7.1 introducing itself.
Then nothing. I command tab and all I hear is either fusion or
finder. I don't know where my windows is In vmware menu it seems
that it should be running because "shut" option is available and
indeed when I choose it, I can hear a lot of familiar noise in the
machine so windows is shutting down. Why can't I get to it? Or is
that Jaws crashes or doesn't speak? Is this because I run version 7.1?
Secondly, when I try to run bootcamp partition in Fusion, I get a
message to install vmware tools but only after windows has booted. I
choose install vmware tools. But I wait and wait and nothing happens
apart from the fact that there is now a "cancel" button in vmware
menu where "install vmware tools" was. But nothing happens. Do I
need to wait longer than two mintues? Would the tools have been a
part of my Fusion .dmg? Or is fusion trying to get the tools from
the internet?
I feel I'm nearly there, but not quite. Any observations would be
very helpful.
With best wishes
Simon
