Hi John. I tried to follow your instructions for gaining keyboard control of the virtual machine, but unfortunately, when I tried to restart VO, The keyboard stopped working and all I got was a bing noise. I had no control of the Mac at all and no Voiceover, so the only solution was to do a hard reset. I am using the Bootcamp partition as my VM and it seems to boot up fine, but as I said before, I can't get any keyboard control over it. Any advice would be great? The VM is an old one that was set up with Leopard and Fusion 2, but the upgrade to Fusion 3 seemed to be fine and the Virtual machine boots up and automatically installed the latest VMware tools, which has messed up the JAWS video intercept, but I'm hoping that will be easy enough to solve if only my keyboard would work?
