Hi Mike, I was just wondering about this myself. Have you tried version 7 of Parallels yet? I'm starting with the assumption that it still is not accessible, but I plan to give each new version a fair try. If you've actually taken a look at the new release first hand then I won't bother. Thank

Hi Keith, I went through the upgrade process just fine. I didn't have to do anything with the jaws video intercept. I wish I knew what is going wrong for you there, but the problem isn't something I've heard of. The only thing is that for some reason Jaws wants me to reactivate my license. I g

Hi I couldn't agree more. We should definately be able to configure the caps lock as the VO keys. Not because this is the way that other screen readers do it but because it is in my opinion a smart way of having it. The caps lock key is for most people hardly ever used. With googles chrome OS
