I use jaws on a xp vm fusion setup. and I have no problems using zero on the number pad as the jaws key. the biggest problem I had at the time of setup was function keys no tworking as function keys.
but that's a setting under options.

You will need to reassign a couple of keys in JAWS and have them use insert instead. It's always been an issue, and no one apparently has found an easier way for this.

Oddly when I use the numpad 0 it will act as an insert if I hit it plus j but that's the only insert equivalent that seems to work. As I mentioned earlier someone had suggested a utility to remap the keyboard perhaps the right shift key as an insert but I don't recall what it was. It wasn't a major issue for me so I didn't follow up at the time but if I had to use this pc on my job I certainly would.

This hasn't been a major problem but I'm not using my mac on my job. If I was I'd try the keyboard map utility someone mentioned on this list. Unfortunately I don't recall its name but I'm sure someone has it. Other than that Vmware has worked fine for me. I haven't tried the boot camp route.

I will leave your questions to someone on the list to answer, but I will say that I use Windows both in Bootcamp and virtually on a 13 inch Mac Book Pro and all is well.

I have a failing pc and I don't have the resources to purchase two separate machines so I plan to install windows and jaws on my new mac. I'm looking at a 13" mac book pro. It seems like I have a choice between using bootcamp which will create a physical partician on the hard drive and allow for booting into either environment or using fusion which produces a virtual environment. This is all true if I understand these processes correctly. Please explain if I have this wrong. My questions include: Which approach do you prefer bootcamp vs fusion? What's the trade off between these two options? When running windows and jaws on a mac how do you handle the difference in keyboards such as backspace and delete? Are there other issues to consider that I have overlooked? Thanx, John Carty -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
