Luis, Thanks, but that did not help. I still cant use the caps lock, it just wont lock in the guest XP. I have to go out of the guest into the host Vista and lock it then go back to the guest XP to use the caps button. That is just to labor intensive to do while I am transcribing medical records. The same is true for the scroll lock and the number lock. Any other ideas, besides hooking up a completely separate keyboard for the guest XP???

There, select Languages and click on the "Detail" button.. Then check if you've set your real keyboard and layout. I hope it helps you!

Wine is your frind, and if you say its "too buggy", you can't get anything better at the OSS word, and they are doing a heck of a job if you ask me. Some time ago I read about making 3D work on virtual machines, and the guy said there were two options: Virtualize the hardware or virtualize the API, course the second is easier, and thats what VMGL does, its intercepts OGL calls and forward them to the server. So the VirtualCard can be anything, and it will just forward things between host and guest. First option is a lot harder, as you need to write the FULL OGL and D3D implementation/Driver and virtualize all the calls to teh PCI/AGP/PCIE card, and, for now, i don't see any "real" benefit on doing it. So my vote? Go with the virtualized API and let people play ;) On 4/8/07, Alexey Eremenko wrote: > hi all ! > > since there are many questions - so I would like to write : "why there > won't be a 3D support anytime soon" > > The problem: > To get a 3D support, you have to have a virtual 3D hardware and > several drivers - 1 for OpenGL and 1 for Direct3D. > > Possible solutions: > a.
