I installed VB on an iMac recently and had the same issues with
Windows XP. Eventually I was frustrated by the same issues, however,
I closed down VB and on returning next day found everything was
functional and I am able to use Windows - not tried anything beyond
Firefox - just needed it to get into a NON mac government wesbite.

Hi Clyde,

Following on from the helpful discussion and comments about the
three VM
programs, I thought I would try the free one, VirtualBox.
No problem installing virtualbox, but didn't get far installing
windows
XP. Came unstuck during the installation when it asked me to press
F8 to
accept the Windows terms and conditions.
With some keyboards (especially laptops), you might find that you have
to hold down the Fn (function) key while pressing the F8 key. This is
because F8 might be assigned to some other function in Mac OS X, like
'Play/Pause'.
I use VirtualBox for running several versions of Windows and Linux,
and have to say I don't recall encountering this issue at all.
I think this is a rare issue, so it would be helpful to know what Mac
OS X and hardware you are using.
