That was one of my first thoughts, so I booted back up with a standard PS2 keyboard. No change. I also booted into both profiles (I have one set for 'physical' and one for 'virtual') on WinXP and that boots just fine. Also the mouse is a standard PS2 mouse, so no USB involved there. Now, on second thought... I _had_ previously click to add the USB keyboard (Dell L100) via the Devices drop down. That killed the keyboard for both host & guest so I had to hard reboot to get back. I wonder if perhaps it left a trace in the xml file somewhere. I've 'purged' VB & reinstalled. However I didn't delete the ~/.VirtualBox folder as I didn't want to have to try and recreate the WinXP vmdk. I'll try that today if I can't find anything obvious in the xml files. It's a test machine w/nothing important on the WinXP drive, so if I bork something it won't matter much. I am trying to get the process down so that I can do it on some of my other machines that do have real data on them. Thanks for the suggestion. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ VBox-users-community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vbox-users-community
