Virtual PC, as noted above, doesn't accept keyboard input sometimes. I've pressed ESC and CTRL, all to no avail. Anyone experience this problem? Any workarounds? The OS and keyboard are set up with standard American (English).<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=191589" width="1" height="1">re: Virtual PC: Keyboard stops working intermittently ?http://blogs.msdn.com/b/darrenj/archive/2004/02/02/66092.aspx#142897Thu, 27 May 2004 14:00:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:142897EricThat workaround doesn't work for me. My whole keyboard stops working inside the VPC. Nothing happens when I hit ESC. Pressing CTRL doesn't help either. I've tried everything and cant get the keyboard to work again inside it....<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=142897" width="1" height="1">re: Virtual PC: Keyboard stops working intermittently ?http://blogs.msdn.com/b/darrenj/archive/2004/02/02/66092.aspx#118834Fri, 23 Apr 2004 19:48:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:118834Tim SneathWe've finally found a fix for this: <a target="_new" href="http://blogs.msdn.com/tims/archive/2004/04/22/118093.aspx">http://blogs.msdn.com/tims/archive/2004/04/22/118093.aspx</a><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=118834" width="1" height="1">re: Virtual PC: Keyboard stops working intermittently ?http://blogs.msdn.com/b/darrenj/archive/2004/02/02/66092.aspx#118351Fri, 23 Apr 2004 01:56:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:118351Rob MI was having this same problem. It is a major pain, hopefully they will release a fix for this. Or at least put it in the help file, until then...

Any hint ? <br>This problem accurs quite often when using german keyboard-layout and trying to enter UNC-paths (backslashes). After what I found out this is only possible by unsing CTRL+ALT+&#223; (instead of ALTGR+&#223;, which is normally used, buts lock STRG as described).<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=83719" width="1" height="1">re: Virtual PC: Keyboard stops working intermittently ?http://blogs.msdn.com/b/darrenj/archive/2004/02/02/66092.aspx#66190Mon, 02 Feb 2004 23:51:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:66190Shannon J HagerI've found this happens occassionally when I use Remote Desktop.
