Hi Sudhavinu,

In Windows Virtual PC, the right ALT key is configured as the host key in Virtual PC by default. You can change the host key in any other key as the ALT key and check if it helps.

To change the key of the host used for Virtual PC

  1. Open the Virtual PC Console.
  2. On the file menu, click Options.
  3. Click on keyboard.
  4. The area of current host key , click the key name to select it, and then on the keyboard, press the key you want to use as the key of the host.

The name of the new host key is displayed in the current host key box.

To insert the keys as to the rate, hash, degree, you must press shift + @ to @ in the same way for the other keys also.

Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

  • Impossible to type the 'euro' using 'Alt Gr + e' secret key (AZERTY French keyboard)

    Hello and seasons greetings! We have just received a new laptop DELL Alienware M17 X with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and a language french keyboard "AZERTY". The 'euro' symbol' is supposed to be obtained by typing 'Alt Gr + e'. It is impossible to activate it, regardless of the app in action, such as Word 2007 or Excel 2007. But we can get it - and print - by typing the ASCII code wich is "Alt + 0128. DELL support does not know how to solve the problem and you suggest to format the computer! Anyone have another simple solution more? Thank you very much.

    Can you check something: right-click on the FR in the language bar on the taskbar > settings > keyboard is mentioned in Installed services?

    You have probably a French with a French keyboard (is it?), so everything should be OK...

    but it is not so...

    Your Alt Gr works in general (for example, you can press on Alt Gr + ' to get {})? Only this combination Alt Gr + E is not functional, right?

    Some third party software may harm using this keyboard shortcut. You have software preinstalled with your laptop that runs in the background and can use Rigth Alt + E for its own purposes?

    ...

    Another thing: Press Start > type in the keyboard an on-screen search box and press enter (you will get the keyboard screen) > press ALT GR and see how the keys of your on-screen keyboard have been changed. Do you see where it suppose to be the euro symbol it?

  • key Ctrl, alt and right click on the keyboard won't respond or work

    I work on Window Vista Ultimate (HP Pavilion tx2500 Notebook PC) and my ctrl, unresponsive keys alt and right click. So I can't use ctrl + c ctrl + v (or others) on any of my programs (such as Word or Firefox). I can either use ctr + alt + delete. And right-click on the keyboard button (which is the same as the right click on the mouse button) is not responding or the other.

    I have already tried various things such as:

    1. pressing the combination alt + ctrl + fn
    2. "unplugging" the usb adapter (and even that I am not too sure of doing things)
    3. uninstall the keyboard driver and reboot
    4. restore the computer to factory settings

    After the upgrade to El Capitan 10.11.5 shift, Alt and command of my keyboard keys started to act arbitrarily, they are suspended and do not work properly (I already tried several keyboards and is not Firefox or Chrome). This behavior is exacerbated in Illustrator CC, but also affect all programs and even my office. It drives me crazy, does anyone know how I can fix this problem?

    Could possibly be interfering with the entry Wacom drivers.

    Start safe mode and see if there are still have the problem there. Safe mode is slow and some things do not work, but it prevents some third-party boot loading software. If your keyboard works properly in Mode without fail, this would imply that some third-party software is causing the problem. If so, check the updates.

    It also takes more time to start because the BONE is clean some system caches that can also help.

  • I lost the menu bar, navigation line arrows address, etc. on Yahoo. Running windows 7, but with a mac (no 'alt' key) keyboard. How to restore?

    I lost the address field, the Menu bar, the navigation arrows. I can't restore by using the "Alt" key that I use a Mac keyboard. "option" key has no effect.

    Make sure that you are not running Firefox mode full screen with all the hidden toolbars.

    • Press F11 to toggle mode full screen (file/Firefox > fullscreen)

    If the menu bar is hidden, then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, which should make the convening of menu bar.

    Make sure the toolbars like the toolbar 'Navigation' and the 'personal bar' are visible: "view > toolbars".

  • Why all my keyboard shortcuts use the 'Alt' key instead of the ' CTRL '? I use Windows 7 and Firefox 5.0.1.

    I recently downloaded Firefox 5 and noticed that all my keyboard shortcuts by default using the 'Alt' key instead of the 'Ctrl' key (so, for example, open a new tab is Alt + T instead of Ctrl + T).

    I noticed that this applies even to copy and paste in Firefox (Alt + C and Alt + P is the only commands that work).

    No idea why this is happening? I am running Windows 7 and Firefox 5.0.1.

    I had this problem. I found that a roaming profile directory has been installed which contained a user.js file in which changed the hotkey of CTRL ALT.
    I deleted the profile folder a name randomly in c:/Users / [myuser] / AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles and then I stuck to that of c:/Users / [myuser] / AppData/Local/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles.

  • In Windows 7, how "to hide the letters highlighted for the keyboard navigation until I press the Alt key" (as in XP)?

    My underlined letters are all the time in menus and dialog boxes, and I want to disable them.

    The first thing I did was go to control panel, accessibility, making the keyboard easy to use, to turn off underline keyboard shortcuts and access keys - but it is already off.

    So how do you disable these underscores in Windows 7?

    Hello Dmbyrnes,

    I understand that you may be eager to hide the menu bar.  Attached, are steps that can be beneficial in addressing you request...

    (1) first Rt click on the bottom of the menu and uncheck lock the toolbars. Then click on organize > layout > menu bar make sure is unaudited.

    From there you should be able to hit the Alt key and the Bar Menu to repopulate.  If you please you would follow with me at your convenience, I would be very happy.

    Thank you

  • Equium L20-197 - left go 'ALT' key in the file menu bar

    Hi I hope someone can help me with this.

    Recently, I noticed that my laptop started to go to the file menu bar when I press the left alt key (I must say of immediately that the laptop do not before tonight and my laptop GFs - which is the same make & model as mine and has exactly the same set top-do NOT go in the bar file menu when you press the left alt key and as mine comes from) start doing this I guess I managed to activate a setting keyboard shortcut somehow).

    I know that by pressing the default Alt allows the file menu bar in windows, but I would be interested to hear if someone else does NOT have this active keyboard shortcut.

    I used an emulator and mapped the keys ctrl and alt, but I'm not 100% sure what combination of keys I pressed on, the emulator has since been uninstalled and the shortcut is always enabled.

    I was wondering if anyone here has a list of shortcuts keyboard/Fn keys to turn this function on or off or is there already a thread on this? I searched the Forum but have not found anything. Thus, all advice / pointing that I have the right direction on this issue would be much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hello!

    Normally if you press the left ALT key you always go to the file menu bar. I checked this on my two laptops Toshiba and it s always the same.
    For as far as I know it's not possible to turn off this feature of s and I n t understand why you want to disable. If you n t like it, don t press the ALT key. ;)
