Sounds like they're afraid eventually you will give up the PC for the Mac and stop buying their updates.

I rang up Freedom Scientific last year as I wanted a reset of my activation. I told them that I was running Jaws on my Mac under Fusion and as soon as the representative heard that he said he would not support me by giving me a new activation unless I wanted it for a native windows PC. This year I went to Site Village (an exhibition for all access Technology) and Eric Damerie was there and I told him that I was running Jaws on a Mac and he simply did not approve.

Two years ago I was uncertain about buying a mac and mentioned that when working on a unrelated JAWS problem. The Rep told me to get the Mac and I would love it. He was correct! The other day I had another issue and before I knew it the rep was asking me questions as she said she loved her iPhone and was considering getting a Mac. Most recently I called for help with my work PC and Jaws. I mentioned my problem with Jaws not starting in my VM and told him I didn't expect him to answer that question as it was not supported. In fact, he gave me a good idea to try and seemed familiar with the Mac. The Mac seems to, in my experience, be becoming popular with at least some of these reps. It really was one of these reps that was the final straw resulting in my purchase of my Mac. I've never looked back! > > In all fairness I was dealing with real JAWS issues when I called, but in all these cases the reps were supportive and either all ready knowledgeable about the Mac or curious about them. > > > Even though I don't have all the bugs worked out of my VM yet I am convinced that the over all experience with Windows on my Mac will be better then my experience on a native PC. > > Eric Caron > On Sep 7, 2011, at 8:41 AM, Kawal Gucukoglu wrote: > >> Bood job you did not tell the Freedom Scientific representative that you were planning to install Jaws on a Mac as they do not support this. >> >> Kawal. >> >> Sent from my iPhone >> >> On 7 Sep 2011, at 12:57 PM, Paul Erkens <paul.erk...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >>> Hi Eric, >>> Last week, a friend of mine bumped into someone who had the same problem as you seem to experience, in that settings you make in jaws, don't hold from shutdown to next run of jaws. And it is now resolved. We, that is my friend and his friend, and I, have all been looking into the problem. We have checked the permissions on the mac hd volume. We have checked inside windows, to see if somewhere in documents and settings, where jaws stores its configuration data, a rights problem was sitting. Why, would jaws, on other systems, retain its settings, while on the vm it would not. We were starting to think that this was a fusion problem. Even one of the Belgian freedom scientific workers helped debugging the problem one entire afternoon, but no luck. Until my friend's friend, came up with the solution, found by accident. >>> >>> What you need to do, and this as worked for 2 people already that I know of, is that you reset jaws to its factory default, thereby destroying all your user settings. But, when you reconfigure jaws afterwards, you may find that from then on, jaws will remember its settings. Albeit spelling, autostart, and whatever. Please try that and report back on it, because it seems that this is a nasty jaws bug, but so difficult to trace. To be clear, my friend's friend encountered this same problem on a native windows pc. He passed it on, and now it works for my friend as well. >>> Hth, >>> Paul. >>> On Sep 7, 2011, at 12:30 PM, Eric Caron wrote: >>> >>>> Hi Kawal and Paul, >>>> >>>> thanks for this added info. >>>> >>>> My imported Boot Camp partition seemed to be working ok until I deleted the real Boot Camp. now each time I start the virtual machine I get a strange message that says something like can not connect file User/ecaron/library/application support/VM Fusion/Vertual machine/BootCamp/ Boot Camp.vvmwarevm//auto Detect as a CD rOM image Can not find the file. Vertual Device IDE 1 will start disconnected. I then press OK and things seem to work all right. this error message made me concerned so I decided to create a new virtual machine with my windows 7 disk and instal JAWS directly. That went ok until I decided to set up JAWS, still in 40 minute mode. It seems to work except it won't hold the check box setting to start at log in. This makes me concerned that it won't work correctly. Plus I need it to come up talking. >>>> >>>> So, I have two machines available at the moment.
