I have everything configured but when i start the virtual machine it does not let me use the page down key on the EULA or the F8 key to accept the EULA and continue installing Windows XP.

I am installing windows XP Service pack 3 on Gen 1 virtual machine.

Any one out there know what I am doing wrong? Those keys work on other apps.

    You'll need to use your old keyboarding skills until you can install the integration services (vmguest.iso)

    Ok, well it's been a long time since I installed it but it came be done for sure. You won't be able to do much with it since the browser is IE6 (can only upgrade to IE8!) chrome will not install, too old. You can try installing the integration services

    What do you mean by old keyboarding skills?

    Too funny. Until you can install integration services the only method of interaction is the keyboard. The mouse does not exist.
