[nfbcs] Windows XP mode on Windows 7 machine

[Mike Freeman]

But we're talking about running the XP virtual machine under Windows 7.
That's a different kettle of fish from running virtual machines on the Mac.

Hi. I also run both Windows XP and Windows Seven on my Mac, which runs 10.8
of the Mac OS. Both virtual machines have JAWS installed on them and they
work fine, even with VoiceOver running. Try installing JAWS on the virtual
Windows XP machine and it should work fine. HTH.
