Hello,

I am using the Virtual PC 2004 Trial on XP, with RedHat
Linux 7.2. Occasionally when I switch from Windows back
to RHL, the keyboard will not respond at all within the
virtual machine. It is definitely NOT any of the modifier
keys being stuck on -- I get no response from the
keyboard at all. The mouse works fine, and the only way I
have found to get keyb. back is to halt the VM,
completely exit VPC, and start it up again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I can resolve
this problem I will move to the full version.

Thanks,
Jacob

Had/have same problem. Selecting File->Properties menu
item, if i remember correcty, brings back the keyboard.
Not a great solution!

I had the same problem wen I first networked my machines
together on a CV switch (sharing keyboard & mouse)
complicated by the fact the I was using Logitec
wireless...

So I just created a shortcut out of the keyboard
configuration START/LOGITEC/KEYBOARD program and simply
click it and select OKAY - it seems to reenable the
drivers and works... not "great" but it works.
