Even with the snapshot version, the same mapping problem occurs sometimes. Usually, it is after a soft reboot. For example, if I restart from Windows 98 se to DOS and then back to Windows 98 se then I get the key mapping where keys act as hot keys regardless of focus. However, I have experienced a few tim= es when the keyboard started off in that mode. The general workaround seems t= o be to do a shutdown of the virtual machine and then restart QEMU. I have also found many applications which require a reboot run into problems. For example, some have already mentioned that GHOST boot disks fail to work. A problem not reported is that attempting to convert C: drive from FAT16 to FAT32 using the windows utility will also cause a general protection fault. The workaround for the fat conversion is to mount the image as drive D. For the GHOST problem I ended up working around the problem by restoring the partition as real partitions on the host OS and then converting them to image files. Bill
