Hi Eric, I am new in the list and I see you got lots of tips already. But for me, I just had to delete all my virtual machines, reinstall from scratch and configured my setting only after I had the full license of jaws running. And insure my fusion had the vmware tools installed and running. I also have full sharing setting between both systems. Every thing works well now. But I also made a shortcut to start jaws in case something goes wrong. My only big trouble is the keyboard, because a lot of my jaws short cuts conflicts with some of my mac ones. I hardly use jaws any more though. It was a freedom support person who helped me decided to finally switch to a MAC, but unfortunately every time I have called after, they always tell me jaws does not work in the virtual machine, since first I had parallels and I had lots of issues until I switch to fusion. It does work well for the most part. Hope this can be of help
