Hi, I'm setting up Windows 7 Pro for a client. Version 6 of VB, Win 7 Pro 64. (This is on a Win 10 Pro Bootcamp'd Macbook Pro)
I need to change the Rt-Ctrl key combo to release the mouse, but the keyboard on his laptop does not have a right Control key. I went to the preferences where it shows the key combos you can change, and my only options are to use RtCtrl or nothing. There is no alternative shown. Can anyone tell me how to get around that?
Also, it doesn't want to accept the AMD Radeon Vega Pro 20 driver package. Windows SVGA drivers only. The AMD software says the hardware isn't detected. Any ideas about this?
Thanks and apologies if it's been answered elsewhere. I did look....honest.

Just found the Guest additions (Duh!) and am installing that. Still need help with the key-combo thing though.

Re: Host Control key combo, Version 6
Did you try clicking into the field for the host key and then just pressing once the key you want?

Yes. Your virtual machine uses virtual hardware, not your host's physical hardware (exception: CPU). Don't try to install any custom drivers for anything.Navion wrote:Also, it doesn't want to accept the AMD Radeon Vega Pro 20 driver package. Windows SVGA drivers only.
