ctrl-break in dos guest under windows 7 host

Post by dkomeshak »

I have a DOS 622 guest running under Windows 7. Everything is working fine with one exception. The CTRL-BREAK key is being ignored when pressed. I've gone thru the documentation and do not see a way to activate it. It looks like this was an issue back in 2011 with windows guests being run under linux hosts and may not have been reported or addressed with DOS guests under Windows hosts.

Thanks for any help.

How do you determine that, and why is it a problem for you?
