Using the F8 Key in Windows Virtual Machines on Mac OS X

If you have Mac OS X Leopard as a primary operating system, you may encounter problems when trying to use the F8 key or Ctrl+Arrow keys combinations in a Windows virtual machine. It happens, because in Mac OS X Leopard, the F8 key and Ctrl+arrow key combinations are reserved for the Spaces utility.

Possible solutions:

• Click the Keyboard icon on the virtual machine's status bar and choose F8 .
• Change the Spaces utility hotkeys settings. To learn how to do it, refer to Mac OS X Leopard documentation.
