Keith and others,
Please keep sharing your findings. I'm having the same problems here.
I am a new VM Fusion user and got version 3 working well just before Version 4
came out.
I would like to use the newer version but can't for the life of me get Jaws to
accept my authorization code. I've tried some tricks shared by other users and
by Freedom Scientific support persons. Most of these tricks involved
deauthorizing either by going into JAWS tools or doing it by erasing a file in
the program area. For me neither worked.
I won't have time to deal with building a new virtual machine for some
time. I don't want to deal with setting everything up again if I don't have to.
Until one of us is successful I'm just using VM 3 and so far so good.
In addition to my screen reader problems in VM Fusion 4 I don't seem to be able
to get the peripherals such as USB drives to become connected. As soon as I
press the connect button it disconnects again. can anyone duplicate this or
have a solution?
On the good side I find VMFusion 3 working ell with Windows 7 64 bit. I
actually found it snappier then the Windows 7 32 bit version. My currently
nicely working machine with Jaws 12 and Windows 7 64 bit was created as a new
machine and all software installed directly from disks.
have my VM fusion 4 on a external bootable disk so I can try to get it
running but no luck so far.
Thanks everyone for the detailed and helpful information.
