Can you shut the VM down and reboot?
Try changing the resolution and go to Display in Control Panel to change orientation of the monitor.

Yes I can. It was akward because the display had rotated but I managed to shut it down and reboot. Then I looked at my Intel Graphics menu and discovered that Crtl+Alt+left arrow had the effec of rotating the screen, so I correct the orientation of scree. So now I will try do disable this shortcut on the Intel Graphics and hope my VM XP starts to respond to it.

Tks

Many Virtual machines capture the mouse and won't let you get to the menu. Just press ctl alt del and then
cancel. it will release the mouse from the virtual machine and you can do your thing with it.
I use it all the time running a virtual dos and windows 98 machines under vpc.

:) Tks, :) Tks and :) Tks. Worked!! I could install the Integrations Tools. But unfortunately I could not Logon ( forgot passaword!!!).
Any easy way to recover or kill the VM and start all over?

Dear Members,

This was my first search for help in this Community.
And I can say I was pleased and surprised with so many members giving tips, and so goods that I could easily solve the problem. My VM Windows XP is installed.
It´s not running because I am having a password trouble. I can´t Logon.
I am still analysing the problem and will post about it soon.

Thanks for you all!
:)

I found out that Ctrl+Alt+left arrow rotates my screen. So my question has to focus on how to liberate the cursor that is bound to my virtual XP to get to the menu bar to proceed with the instalation.

There's a typo in Virtual PC message which is displayed when mouse is captured: To "release" the pointer to the host you need to press CTRL + ALT + RIGHT ARROW, not LEFT ARROW as the displayed message tells you to do.

Hopefully someone in Microsoft notices this irritating, confusing typo and corrects it.

Hi,

It did not work for me. It rotated my screen. My Intel Graphics uses both shorkeys.
But the Ctrl+Alt+Del and after CANCEL worked fine.

Thank you anyway

OK. Today after deleting my VM e creating it again I could logon.:)
It looks OK. I can access my Desktop and my Laptop. I´ve already installed the AVG antivirus and updated the OS using Windows Update.The Microsoft VM is fantastic!!

Thanks you all.
