2. Losing Tab and Esc Key Functionality in Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 – ran into this yesterday with VMWare Workstation – Ctrl-Alt-Delete to login (W2k3Server in guest) brought up Vista’s (host). Caused my tab key in host to work like Ctrl-Tab. Occasionally ran into this previously. Will switch to Ctrl-Alt-Insert instead. I used VMWare Converter to do a P2V (virtual to another virtual) to gain some more disk space. Wonder if I need to uninstall and reinstall VMWare Tools?
