Hi!

I installed a virtual WinXP machine and everything works fine, except for my keyboard (Belgian azerty). It has a wrong layout and I have tried fixing it, but I failed.

Some of the annoying things:
The "@" is in a very strange place: ctrl+alt+2 instead of under the escape key.
The backslash is completele untypeable.
The "[ ]" and "{ }" are also completely different in Windows compared to the OSX host.

Is there a fix for this problem? I had the same issue on my virtual Ubuntu, this was fixed by selecting the "French (Apple)" layout. There's no "Apple" layout whatsoever in WinXP, even after installing the guest additions.

Thanks!

Changing the keyboard layout is a guest function. If the guest does not have what you need then you need to see if you can locate a patch for XP that fits your needs. I think I would ask the MS forums about this.
