I had a funny scenario today where I'm running on Vista and I'm hosting a VPC image (using Virtual PC 2007) and I'm finding that whenever I record the Virtual PC using Camtasia (4.0.2) various keys inside of the Virtual PC stop working. These are;

The SHIFT Key

The WINDOWS Key

and so it makes things a little tricky. I spoke to the Camtasia tech support folks and they suggested running the Virtual PC process as Elevated and, you know what, it fixed it.

I don't pretend to understand exactly why this fixes it (I figured it might be related to keyboard hooks somewhere but who knows) but I'm very pleased fixed that it did fix it so anyone else that encounters this kind of problem might want to consider trying it as a solution.
