Ctrl + Break on VM Desktop?

[goonerfc]

Unable to use the Ctrl + Break function on a VM Desktop, anyone had this problem or is there a way around it?

This is needed to break a process instead of killing the entire session when using certain software applications.

Thanks

Are you using RDP or PCoIP as display protocol?

Hi Chris,

Using PCoIP.

Thanks

Did you try CTRL-ALT-BREAK? If this also doesn't work, is there a way to get around that issue using another key combination in the application?

Yes this has been tested - I have downloaded a keymapper application from microsoft but the break button is actually disabled and is mapped to 0 when pressed to remap to another key.

It just seems via VMware you are unable to send the break signal at all, also tested from a Desktop using VMviewclient 4.5 and via a thin client.

I thought it may of been a general Remote Desktop problem but thats not the case.

Thanks
