I often find that you can give Windows VMs focus if you just turn VO off
temporarily and hit Tab enough times. Once your keyboard is grabbed, you can
turn VO on again, if you like.

Hi!
Make sure you’re in the windows screen.
Otherwise i guess the mouse wont work.

Scott,
After reading Garry's post. I decided to run into the Fusion
keyboard preferences. I looked at the mappings under a couple of the
tabs. Command-G is a valid command to grab keyboard and mouse from the
Mac. Command-control will ungrab and return control to the Mac.

To clarify, VMWare will boot up windows with the VMWare tools and then

Hi Anouk,
In order to run Windows via Fusion, you need a Windows CD. This can't
be an upgrade CD or a recovery disk. You then install Windows using
that CD within Fusion. Once Windows is installed, Fusion loads the
drivers you need automatically through something called VMWare tools.
