Yes apparently with JAWS it will run but will not 
authorize. However Window-eyes has no such authentication so it will work. The 
question I have is how does one configure everything and can it be done without 
sighted help.

  i 
  would actually be interested if one can get jaws for windows or some such app 
  to run under an emulation like wyne or even under a windows session in 
  VMWare.  Can anyone tell me if this is possible?
  the 
  reason why i think it may not be is because of the authentication system that 
  jaws uses.

    I have a couple programs that need windows to 
    run but I don't want to go throguh the trouble of having a whole OS 
    installed just for 1 or 2 programs. I have heard that it is possible to get 
    a screenreader to run inside of a windows emulator. I have a very speedy 
    machine so I have lots of resources so that's nto an issue. What I want to 
    know is can this be organized without sighted assistance or should I even 
    bother.
