What I mean is to change the function keys so I can use f11 for getting to the system tray, and f 12 to check the time. Would anyone happen to know how to do this? Right now, if I want to do either of these things, I have to hold the function key down, then push the corresponding function key, kind of a hassle.

I am sure there must be an exception to this genral rule-of-thumb somewhere but I have yet to encounter it.

I think I have one more issue. If I switch the function keys to non media, will that effect the Mac side of things?

Taylor Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2011 8:49 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: nas storage finally connected, and a USB speaker question Hello Kliphton, Thank you for the answer to how you got your virtual machine to recognize/see your network attached storage. To answer your next question, "Yes"; backing up your virtual machine means that you will not have to reinstall or authorize any Windows software. Kliphton, keep in mind that, regardless of how it may appear from within Fusion, your entire virtual machine, complete with all of its settings and installed software, is nothing but a single file. As such, merely copying the file to another folder or drive on your Mac constitutes a backup, such as it is. I cannot remember where the file is stored but it's pretty easy to locate using Finder when you are not running Fusion. Generally speaking, once I get my virtual machine tweaked just right, I copy the file to a remote destination; then, should something go wrong on the virtual machine, I simply copy it back to the appropriate destination and I'm back in business. It works kind of like a poor man's version of Windows Steady-State, one of the best pieces of software I've ever used.

Once there I arrowed down until I came to network adapter sub menu. Once there I made sure network adapter was connected as well as the network to bridge directly to my network, if you don't tell it to bridge directly, and just auto connect, it will just share the connection with the apple side and not see everything on your network. By bridging directly it saw my nas storage, as well as my router and xbox360. It's pretty easy once you know what you're doing. I didn't so had to ask questions and play around a little bit. Another question I have. If I back up my VM machine, does that mean I don't have to activate any of my software again when I import it? Like office, jaws, and anything else saved within it? That's what someone on another list told me.

This will most definitely be useful to others who may encounter the same issue. By the way, which version of Windows do you have on your VM Ware Fusion Virtual Machine? As to your question regarding USB speakers, I've never used USB speakers with my Mac; however, I am certain that there will be someone on the list who can help.

I finally figured out what the issue was. Last thing is, I have a set of USB speakers, so how do I tell my mac I want them to play sound out of them, instead of treating them like a input device?
