keyboard not working

Post by SuiCycoE »

Trying to install win xp. Every works right up to the point where it asks to install, create or delete a partition. At that point the keyboard stops working and I can not get anything to respond. Is it that it is a usb keyboard and its looking for a serial keyboard?

Thanks in advance

How do you know it's just the keyboard and not the whole VM freezing? With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log". Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response (see the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form).
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
