Ok well then will try it out with my other screen reader and see what happens as have an old program Partition magic that isn't compatible with win 7 or win vista that prefer to use when partitioning hard drives.
So many thanks for the answers and explanation on what's happening or going on when using Jaws in windows xp mode. -----Original Message----- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of chris hallsworth Sent: Sunday, July 18, 2010 5:11 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws with Windows xp mode in Windows 7 Hi, This has been discussed on the Windows 7 list. Unfortunately, it is not possible to use JAWS in a Windows XP mode environment. Virtual PC creates a terminal session by default, and JAWS doesn't understand that it's not actually a terminal session; rather a "virtual" terminal session created by Virtual PC. As a result JAWS thinks you're trying to run it in a terminal session, and therefore will not work and instead display an error message and quits. For the record, other screen readers work, but this is outside the scopes of this list. Sorry about that.
