Running Vista 64-bit and Windows XP as a guest. Before upgrading to V2.2.2(v2.1.4) everything was fine.
Now the alt key(right) doesn't seem to work right. Most of the time you have to hit it 4-5 times to get it to work.
It seems to be only with alt-p.
Is this a known problem or did something go wrong with the upgrade?

First time I have heard about it. What are you trying to do that requires the alt-p key combo?

As I said you are the first. Have you checked to see if the program itself is causing the problem? Just to be sure.

Well EditScript hasn't changed. This is actually my wife's laptop - I'll get her to try with another application.Perryg wrote:As I said you are the first. Have you checked to see if the program itself is causing the problem? Just to be sure.
There's very little loaded in the XP guest, just EditScript and Word 2003.
Is there any problem going back to 2.1.4?

Re: V2.2.2 alt key not working in guest
Probably not if you do it right. But before you go back you really should try to figure out if it is a problem with VB. I don't use the program that you have but may give it a try to see if it works as it is supposed to in VB. It may take a few days before I can find the free time but if you are willing to wait I will see what I can find out.
