Hi, If anyone wants to reach me off line that is fine. Another tip related to keyboard remapping.
There is a program for the Mac that allows you to remap your keys. I have played with this and it gives you more flexibility on assigning the right options or command keys. Since these keys are not heavily used on the Mac. At least, I don't use the options available on the Mac for these keys. The Remapper program can change any keys on the keyboard. It is free. Once it is changed, windows thinks it is that key and you can change it again to another key by using sharp keys. In relation to USB devices not being detected. You need to do the following: 1. Open your document folder by command shift o. 2. Navigate to the virtual folder. 3. Move to the folder containing your virtual machine. 4. press vo shift m to open the context menu. 6. Navigate down to open package. 9. Now interact with the files/folders. Go to the very bottom. 10. Navigate upwards and look for a VMWare configuration file. Voice Over will tell you this. 11. Open it in text pad or similar program. Make sure you save it as a text file. This is why I use text pad. 12. Contained in here is all the settings. Add the following: svga.noHWCursor = "TRUE" usb.generic.allowHID = "TRUE" The second line from memory exposes USB devices and allows you to set an external keyboard to work only with the VMWare host. The other option is related to displays. I hope this helps. Sean -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
