My appologies if this was already posted to the list. Hi all, I have a virtual machine running on my new macbook pro with 8 gigs of ram and a 2.7 ghz processor. I am running the latest updates of vmware fusion, lion, and windows 7 64 bit, with jaws 12. Here are my questions.
1. I have been experimenting with allocating different amounts of memory and processor to the vm, but haven't had luck finding the right combination. No matter how much or little memory I give the vm, jaws seems to stutter a lot, especially when installing programs. Changing the number of cpu cores also didn't fix the problem. The stuttering is a lot worse than on my old vm on my old mac that had a much slower processor and only four gigs of ram. The stuttering seems to happen after a longer duration, which is also a problem because every time I change the configuration of the vm, jaws needs to reactivate, meaning that I run out of keys very quickly and can't test each configuration properly in demo mode. Does anyone else experience this problem? Should I switch back to windows xp, which I love. I only updated because I felt a little silly for still running xp. For anyone who has a vm on a system with similar ram and cpu speed, what are the ideal processor and memory settings for the VM? I practically never use the Mac. 2. Voiceover has a huge problem with the vmware fusion window. In order to access the vmware fusion menu, I need to have the vm set to single window. I prefer to use it in full screen, but I can't access the menu that way; voiceover just says menu closed when I press VO M. Is there a workaround for this? Thanks!
