[nfbcs] Windows XP mode on Windows 7 machine

Sun Dec 2 20:26:43 UTC 2012

Hi, Louis,

I did find the podcast you were talking about.  Initially, the narrator
demonstrated with WindowEyes but did mention that XP mode is accessible with
remote JAWS, which I have since I work with a number of RDC's.  I will
investigate further, including listening through the entire podcast to see
if he goes into details with JAWS, when I get back into the office tomorrow.

Thank you,
   Ryan

There is a podcast on blindcooltech.com in which someone demonstrates doing
exactly this, running Windows XP mode in Windows 7 and using JAWS. He even
goes through the steps of setting it up. Check out the podcast, this may be
of some use to you. Its title is Windows 7 Part 3. Hope this helps.
