Hi Paul and others,
I will try this suggestion, However, I'm not sure where the option to
reset to factory settings is. I'll look for it but if you know please share.
Also, I have not tried it yet but in passing a helpful Freedom
Scientific Rep suggested that in windows 7 I could simply paste the JAWS
shortcut into the Start up folder found under all programs and that should make
it work in my VM machine. I'll report back on how VM Fusion works with that
once I figure it out!
the more I push my Mac's abilities the more amazed and productive I am.
