Thanks - that seems to have worked - and also triggered an update to version 13 which I hadn't been offered before.

I purchased a new Intel Mac Mini in 2018 which had Big-Sur. I upgraded to Fusion 12 at that time. I am now up to MacOS Ventura and am still getting this message. If it is a legacy from my previous machine (I migrated everything) then I need to know how to fix it.

Goto Virtual Machine ==> Settings ==> Keyboard and Mouse and change to Windows 8. That got me most of the way there but still ±§ were interchanged with ~` so I had to edit those into the mix.

Copy & Paste stopped working (Fusion not Unity)

Hi - some time ago (Mavericks & VMware v5) Copy & Paste stopped working. I was hoping that an upgrade to Yosemite and VMware 7 would fix this but no luck. Virtual machine is Win XP. Settings / Isolation / Enable Copy & Paste is set. Preferences / Keyboard & Mouse / Mac Host Shortcuts / Enable Mac OS Host Keyboard Shortcuts is set. VMware tools updated to latest version. Any other ideas please?

Thnaks MandarMS - that solved the problem. A bit of detail for UK residents. 1. Ensure the CD/DVD devices is connected to the Windows XP virtual machine 2. Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc 1. This may auto run - but if not open it from My Computer. 3. It will proceed to install the Boot Camp drives. Many may not be relevant but some are including the keyboard drivers. It requires a reboot at the end. 4. Now a deviation from MandarMS' instructions. Control Panel/Regional and Language Options has many related things but not keyboards (with Windows XP Pro SP3 anyway). What you need is right click the Task Bar -> Toolbars -> enable the Language Bar so it has a tick by it. That should bring up a small EN on the task bar. 5. Right click the EN and go to settings which gives a window called "Text Services and Input Languages". Use Add to Select "English (United Kingdom)" and keybaord "United Kingdom (Apple)" then OK. That will add the options which you can now set as default at the top of the window then OK. You can if you wish remove the US options which avoids the possibility of it reverting at some later time which it has a habit of doing. cheers, Rick parsons, Bristol, England

Thnaks for your reply MandarMS. Yes - UK keyboard on Mac Pro. Note I am not using Boot Camp at all, not even a virualised Boot Camp partition - does your answer still apply? If so, can you guide me to installing from Leopard disk - I presume that this must be optional features that were not pre-installed. I have the discs but have never touched them. cheers, Rick parsons, Bristol, England

I may be doing something wrong but I am having trouble finding keys on the keyboard. I am running Fusion on a Mac Pro with a wired aluminium UK keyboard. I have Win XP Pro and Ubuntu guests. I am not sure about the latter but the Windows system is set up with language option UK Keyboard layout. What is happening is that the keys are in the physical positions that they would be on a UK PC but not where the Mac key-caps say they are. The problem keys are ", £, ~, #, |, \ and `. My task this last month has been to migrate my work from Win to Mac and I am getting used to the new layout but I am running a few applications under Fusion and am having trouble remembering where the keys should be (I don't touch type). It is a productivity killer so I have had to stick a diagram to the bottom of my screen. Is there any way for Fusion to map the Mac keyboard layout through to the guest so tat if I type the key marked @ it comes out as a @ not " ?
