Help with VirtualBox

Post by seek1 »

Hi Folks,
I am new to Virtualbox and I am having problems logging in. The OS on my machine is Vista and I installed Windows Server 2003 on Virtual box. When I start Virtual box, Windows 2003 boots but I need to enter a password by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del. Here is the problem. When I press Ctrl+Alt+Del instead of user name and password fields it's opening the task manager of my Vista OS. What shd I do here to open the user name and password dialog box on W2K3 Server on Virtualbox instead of the task manager on Vista?

Pls help .

This is mentioned in the Manual. Use the Host key when using special key combinations. So HOST + DEL. And you always have the Machine menu, which you can send Ctrl + Alt + Del.
