guest cannot read keyboard on Dell Inspiron 1525

Post by Dave Oshel »

My system is Hardy Heron on Dell Inspiron 1525 notebook, my VirtualBox is 1.6.4 and I'm trying to install Windows XP Pro from a Microsoft .iso image. Everything proceeds fine until the installer requests Press Enter to install, R to repair or F3 to quit. The keyboard is not responsive, even though Capture is green down arrow.

Any idea what the matter might be? Apparently, the keyboard is not a USB device, because I got USB working thanks to Ubuntu Forums.

Thanks for any help.
