[jonathan_david]

i borked my system (see thread below) doing some Quit Explorer keyboard sequence and now I see nothing whether the virtual machine is on or off:

Is there a way for me to get to the Run Command from the Windows Start menu? I mean, is there a mac equivalent on the keyboard for this?

Thanks.

CMD + R should do the trick, other option is send ctrl+alt+del to machine and select task manager, file>new task

Hi. Thank you so much.

Can I please ask you /how/ I enter these commands into the MacBook Pro?

For instance, I assume I need to enter these while Parallels is running but the Windows 7 Virtual Machine is off? Or should the Virtual Machine be on (even though I don't see anything...) and then I enter these keystrokes?

Also, are there any settings on the MBP that would affect this? For instance on my MBP I have little icons for turning up and down the volume on the Function Keys (F1 etc). In order to get F1 to work I have to hold down the FN key because I set it this way (to let the icons be active). I assume this has nothing to do with these keystrokes if that right?

Thanks!
