Hi Kelly,
I’ve struggled with VMWare Fusion lots as well, but do have it going pretty
much all the time now. The one trick I’ve noticed you have to do is toggle back
and forth in and out of your machine’s screen while it’s starting up. I hope I
can explain this correctly, here goes:
When your machine starts, you’ll eventually hear VO say “suspend this guest
operating system”. At that point, press Command+control+f. You’ll probably hear
VO say something like space with applications followed by whatever is currently
running, like finder, Mail, Messages or whatever. Press Control+command+f
again, and you should hear VO say “Space with the name of your Windows machine
full-screen”. At that point, you know you are in the VMWare window. Press
Control+G to give keyboard focus to the VM machine. Oh yeah, and the keystroke
to start Narrator won’t work, because VO is picking up the Control+Windows
combination as its command. I normally do Windows+R, then type Narrator, and it
does come up. Then, to get out of Narrator, I have to alt-tab to the Narrator
Settings window, and when I press Alt+F4, Narrator does exit. If you can get to
the point where you can in fact install JAWS, it does work pretty nicely, by
the way. I started out with VMWare 10, and my USB devices, including my Focus
40 Blue, connected just fine. But then I tried upgrading to VMWare Version 11,
and for some reason I couldn't get any of my USB devices going, so I had to go
back to version 10.
I hope this isn’t confusing, and that maybe others can chime in with
clarifications or other thoughts. Good luck and I hope you can get it going.

Hi,
These are probably basic questions but if there is a pointer or other resource,
I’d appreciate hearing about it. I am trying to get VMWare Fusion to run on a
MacBook Pro and not having a lot of luck. I launch the program and it opens
but then stops responding. Eventually I force quit the program.
Does this generally work and if so any thoughts on what might be up? I’ve used
VirtualBox successfully previously on the same machine.
The machine is fully updated to the latest Mac OS.
Thank you,
Kelly
