I have just installed virtual box on my Mac notebook with the OSX version 10.6.8. When I tried to create a virtual machine with windows xp everything went fine until it asked me to press F8 to agree with the terms of the service pack. F8 on my Macbook is what serves as the play button for iTunes and when I press it that is what starts up and it does nothing about allowing me to say that I agree so that I can continue with the installation. Is there any way around this?

That should not happen. Are you sure that the virtual machine had focus? Try clicking inside the vm window before you press F8.

You can send an "F8" key by holding down the Function key ("fn" button in the lower-left corner of the keyboard) and hitting F8/Play/Pause. The Function key should cause the system to send an F8 instead of a Play/Pause key.
