Deborah, I'm not exactly sure what you are asking here. You are correct that the virtual machine window is the one that contains all the settings, at least in the default view. So, here's what you can do. If on the virtual machine window, VO past the tool bar and before all the settings. You will hear voiceover say "progress indicator". Next, turn voiceover off briefly, and hit command G. Note, sometimes you have to do it twice. This will put the keyboard input through to the actual virtual machine. Once this has been done, you can turn voiceover back on, and all should work as expected. Does that answer your question? If not, could you please be more specific?
