Well something more to figure out I guess. Can I have a screen reader load
at startup like you might in Windows? I would think that maybe you could
not.

Using the caps lock is an issue in VM Fusion. So when installing JAWS
don't
let it go to the system tray initially. Instead let it stay on the
desktop.
You can redefine your jaws key to a keystroke that will work. I use a mac
mini with a desktop keyboard so I can use the standard JAWS key. My wife
uses magic so I need to figure out how to redefine the magic key.

Hi,
Not wanting to state the obvious but you will need to install your
screen reader of choice within the Windows environment, be it a dual
boot under Bootcamp or a virtual machine under VMware Fusion. I know
there was historically some problems in getting Jaws to work properly
under Fusion because of the jaws key not always being recognised, not
sure if this is still a concern or if it also applies to Window Eyes
or other Windows screen readers.
I will say though as someone who fought with various dual and
multi-boot setups for years I am a huge fan of virtualisation -- use
it heavily on a Windows platform -- and would never want to go back.

The main thing you will wantto do is choose the easy install, and at
least
initially, not set a password, this way you can get to the windows
desktop
without running in to screens that are inaccessible.

Hi there, you need to get a copy of vmware fusion, www.vmware.com. This
will allow you to run windows in a virtual machine, as well as install
without sighted help. If you have skype or another program for
communication, I could give you more help getting started with this. It
will allow you to run the mac and windows at the same time which is
very
convenient.

OK Gang. I read a ton of posts on this but it's like jumping into the
middle of a conversation. So could someone help me by starting at the
beginning.
I just got a MacBook and I do need to run Windows on it for
convenience
and because some things I do just don't exist in the Mac world.
I know it has BootCamp already on it and my co-worker (not using
screen
access) installed Windows and runs that on her Mac at will. But you're
all talking about a lot of other ways to do this. What is the best
way,
what choices do I need to make, and what specifically do I need to
get.
Sorry if it's been covered. But after reading posts for an hour from
the
archives I don't know this yet. LOL. TIA.
