Re: VIEmu - VS2008 - Virtual PC

I using VS2008 in a Virtual PC Environment - with VIEmu 2.2.9.

It was working just fine -
now - all of a sudden - my keys are 'psuedo' working - meaning sometimes i get into an INSERT mode - and cant get out (using Esc) unless I move my mouse and highlight some text


I tried resetting the keys - but that doesnt seem to work

Any thoughts?

*** EDIT ***
Ok, -nothing to do with VIEmu - something wierd with Virtual PC 2007

Installed VirtPC 2007 - SP1 - rebooted - and things working again.

Re: VIEmu - VS2008 - Virtual PC

It's weird, I've used ViEmu ocasionally in a Virtual PC environment, with different versions of VS and Windows, and never had such a problem. Some customers, notably John Lam of IronRuby fame, uses ViEmu always in a virtualized environment under a Mac.

Is the problem persistent? Is it reproducible? Any extra hints would be helpful.

I'd guess it's something more having to do with VPC than with VS or ViEmu.

Nutshell, great to hear it is already fixed. It did indeed sound like a VPC thing!
