Hi there I have built a network of three virtual machines running on my home network, all on my laptop. Each vm has a static ip address and is running a separate application in a Ubuntu Linux environment, . Orca is enabled in each. My laptop is windows 7, running JAWS The virtual machines are bridged. JAWS is turned on when I am working inside the virtual machines. So I am getting feedback from both screen readers simultaneously. Problem 1 I wrote a .bat file to start up the machines automatically. echo Starting virtual machine . Press Enter pause "c:\Program Files\Oracle... the batch file is running successfully, and the machine starts up. But, I had expected the screen reader to read the echo command string. It doesn't. It does read out the c:\...etc line, however. How can I get the echo string to read out ? Problem 2
From inside the virtual machine, There appears to be a conflict between screen readers. For example, while editing a file in the nano editor, Ctrl+x should exit the editor. However, this sometimes fails, and I get the audio feedback "There is nothing to select", as if JAWS has taken over from orca, and is trying to copy text..
Perhaps you guys have come across these "chesnuts" in the past, and can offer a solution. Thanks, Paul
