Hey everyone. It was difficult deciding where this post would be appropriate but I decided here would be best.. anyhoo the problem. I decided that I wanted to dabble in using a virtual PC GREAT! So the program is installed and I have a VM set up ready for me to install windows 98, Cool. Pretty easy so far.. It boots off the 98 CD and says: 1, Boot off Hard drive 2, Boot off CD Continuing in: 10..9..8...7...6.. And it counts down to zero as I am going insane at the keyboard to make it select the second option.. How the crap do you use the keyboard in windows VM? It completely ignores anything I do and trys to boot from its empty hard drive. I kow this has very little to dow with XP but I guess this is the most relevant place to post this.

works fine for me ... is the VPC window ACTIVE? Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.' icq 10183575

yes the window is active. I've even tried it full screen but I still get nothing. Mattwiz3 : ) Sempron 2600+ @ 2.2GHz 1Gb DDR400 Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe 200GB SATA / 80Gb IDE 256Mb MSI 6800 Ultra
