No backslash in Virtual Machine ?!!

By default, the Alt Gr key is the host key which allows the host OS to capture control over the mouse and keyboard from a virtual machine. As a result of this you are not able to type a backslash (\) in the virtual machine because pressing Alt Gr gives control back to the host OS. Very annoying if you really need this key ;-)

You can change this setting in the Virtual PC options (File > Options). Choose a key that you don't need very often or you're back in trouble!



Thx for helping me out David.
