Remember I can use my keyboard in the VM's BIOS, or to choose a different start up device - it's only when windows loads fully that it stops working. Yes I've long since found that KB article and tried the applicapble portions, it didn't change anything.
Using windows vm on mac delete key how to#
But I don't know how to fix it and re-building is not possible. It's something in the virtual machine for XP. \Edit: I want to add that when I select the boot into BIOS option I do have keyboard usage. And I need to get back into that XP Machine! I've spent hours on what should be a straightforward operation. Please someone help me, this is driving me insane. What is going on? I have googled endlessly and found NOTHING of assistance other than checking my device manager on the host. This is absurdly simple compared to what VMWare products are capable of. But I can hit ctrl-alt, get focus back, and alt-tab away so I know my keyboard is working. I can click in the guest, try to type on the Bluetooth keyboard, and nothing happens. I even setup a bluetooth keyboard, then clicked the setting to pass Bluetooth keyboards over. Can't install tools because I can't log in. I checked in Device Manager, It's "Standard PS/2 Keyboard". Ok so I then installed VMware Workstation 9.0 (since updated to 9.0.2).
Work fine in OS, I click in guest, and nothing, stuck at XP login screen. Keyboard AND mouse (trackpad) don't work in guest. When given the choice of export formats I chose VMware player 5.0. Used standalone converter to convert to VM and also resized it down onto a USB hard drive.
