[Bryan Schulz]

Hi,

The solution this time is the instructor has obtained a laptop with regular
win10 that will remain in the locked classroom for my use.
Anyone else getting these messages/replies twice?
Bryan

It's been a while since I ran JAWS on Windows in a VM. I usually just 
use NVDA, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Note that you can 
resolve some performance issues by making sure your virtual machine has 
enough resources, especially RAM. I'm not sure how to do this with 
Virtual Box, but I've done this with VMware Player under Windows and Ubuntu.
