    I have the same problem. Mouse and keyborad don't seem to work, nor does sending keyboard events from PD menus.

    Booting into Boot Camp in PD4 for the first time, XP SP3 installed in Boot Camp. (first SP2, then Apple BC 2.0, Apple BC 2.1, SP3).


    fabforrest, could you share how you got past this?

    Reverted back to PD3

    The above happened to me with the initial PD4 release. In the meantime, PD4 was patched to build 3540, are you using that?

    Since I needed something working quickly, I reverted back to PD3, which is pretty solid (I reinstalled Boot Camp from scratch). I may try PD4 again later, but for the moment my upgrade is "wasted".

    I'm using the latest version of PD4 - downloaded the upgrade iso image, burned to CD, allowed it to download updates and this is what I get. If they don't come out with a fix, I may just ask for a refund.

    Already did - as I couldn't figure this out after about 4 hours of trying
