From: Carlos on 12 May 2010 16:43 Hi group, I use Virt PC 7. I try to use Windows XP as a virtual machine on Win 7. (not XP mode) Then, If I press the Windows key, is is not activated on XP, but it activates on Windows 7. It is similar for all shortcuts, they never open inside XP, but yes on Win 7. thanks very much in advance, Carlos

If you haven't installed the VM additions into the guest OS, you need to click on the VM window to give it focus just like any other app in Windows. If you installed the VM additions, you still need to ensure the VM window has focus by moving the mouse inside the VM window.
From: Carlos on 12 May 2010 17:54 Solved. After installing VM additions the problem was persistent. But after turning all off, waiting and starting all again, all things are ok thanks, Carlos "VanguardLH" <V(a)nguard.LH> escribi� en el mensaje news:hsf68g$j3$1(a)news.albasani.net... > Carlos wrote: > >> Hi group, >> >> I use Virt PC 7. >> I try to use Windows XP as a virtual machine on Win 7.
