After finishing the initial steps of bootcamp I came across a black tv screen.


I hooked up a viewsonic monitor and all is well until this next issue that I hope someone can shed some light onto.


I am using an xp pro sp2 disk which was supplied with a number of other version of xp, including tablet and home edition. As such, the first screen gives an option to pick which version by typing in the corresponding letter. I cant type the letter to start the ball rolling since no usb keyboard seems to be recognized at this point of the process. I tried 4 models, on all of the usb ports with no luck.


Any ideas on getting around this latest hurdle?


Last question will bring me back the vga issue. Ultimately my application was to use the dvi-vga adapter to feed a vga "y" splitter going to a small mobile vga screen, and a small presentation projector with a vga port. Based on what I am reading I am assuming I am out of luck with this plan as it stands with bootcamp. Am I reading the info correctly?

I would like to hash that part of the problem out before going out to get a new version of windows xp.

Thank you in advance for any help that you can give.
