Re: [JAWS-Users] Question about virtual software
Hello, I tried to subscribe to the group but I got a reply saying that the group does not exist. Is this group gone or is the subscribe address wrong? I got VMware installed but I have encountered some problems Iwould like to ask about on that list so I don't clutter this one. Thanks, Greg W.
