I'm trying to install WinNT on Virtual PC 6.x.

During installation I am required to press the PageDown key to agree to
continue with the install.

But when I press the Page Down key on my PowerBook 15", absolutely nothing
happens. Zilch. Nada.

Any suggestions - other than installin Windows 2000 instead of WinNT - are
welcome.

I can't tell you how frustrating this is.

Thanks in advance,

DamBuster

Are you remembering to press the function key (fn) as you hit the pg dn key?
Or, on your keyboard, does (num lock) have to be off to enable the page down
key?

Hitting Page Down works fine in VPC.

Try pressing Return or try fn + page down (forgot which worked). But
when prompted to press cntl+alt+delete you will need to include fn key
when starting up. NT4 works well, keep trying.
