Hi. Didn't have time until now to try this, and as I suspected, the problem was between my chair and my keyboard. Thanks for your help. Two more questions, though. First, I don't seem to be able to swap the alt and Windows key. They are both in the key remapping table, but they don't work correctly, even when I restart windows. I am running a PC keyboard on a Mac mini, and I have already used the Mac's key remapping to swap them once. I wonder if you can't do it a second time with Fusion and maybe I need to try Sharp keys?
Secondly, somehow, playing with the key remapping, I seem to have lost my network connection. It was running fine, now I have a network disconnected, and when I try to start it the option to start it is dimmed out. I have it set to N E T like it was before, and Lion is browsing the web fine. Any thoughts on these two problems greatly appreciated.

You instead run the setup program for Windows 7 then choose the upgrade option.
