if you are using Microsoft Virtual PC ...

... then you should install the Virtual Machine Additions.

This has a number of benefits:

• the Virtual Machine (VM) will work correctly as a Remote Desktop server
• speeds up the whole VM
• enables features such as resizing the VM window, and copy'n'paste
• you no longer have to use Alt Gr to have your mouse exit the VM window :-).

To install the Virtual Machine Additions:

• Go to the Action menu
• Select 'Install or Update Virtual Machine Additions'
• Follow the on-screen instructions.
• After installing, you will need to reboot your VM.
