Cannot initiate windows since upgrading

Post by dmaunder »

I just upgraded to 4.0.12; I am a release behind. I run snow leopard 10.6.8 on a mac book pro, and have windows (2000, I think) installed as the virtual machine. Since I upgraded, I cannot log into windows. I formerly used 5 keys to launch windows (fn, control, option, command, delete) as a proxy for the control + alt + delete to launch. That combination does nothing to launch windows any longer.

Is there another key or combination of keys that works to launch windows?

Thanks

ctrl + atl + del = host key + del
So what ever you set your host key to should work. Look in preferences -> input of the main manager to see or change.
