If the function keys are not behaving like normal pc function keys, then you need to change the keyboard settings in the mac preferences By default a mac doesn't use function keys like normal pc function keys.

The F10 key is used for Exposé on the Mac side, and you definitely want to disable the key definitions, because you're not going to use it, and if you press these keys you'll think that your computer has frozen up. Read the archived post for a description of what's happening and how to disable the Exposé key definitions: http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg08197.html (What is Exposé, and how to use its assigned keys in Fusion) Since I'm on a laptop, my keyboard doesn't include an F13 key, so I'm not sure what's going on there.

I tried the map function in the preffences but no joy and falso if I have to right click on something ,shift f10 causes the vm to freeze. Is there another way aroun this? > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
