Function Keys for Installing Windows

Post by Gnosos »

Hi,

I'm installing Windows XP Pro into a VM running on an iMac w/ Leopard. During the install, Windows wants me to accept the license agreement by pressing F8. I can't get any of the function keys to work. Virtualbox is capturing the keyboard and mouse, seemingly OK, except for the function keys.

Thanks for any help.

just press the 'function lock' key first, although I am not sure if Mac keyboards have that key?

hope this helps
