VPCKBMON.EXE

Virtual PC Keyboard Monitor. Virtual PC comes with a keyboard monitor driver (vpckbmon.exe) that can be installed to CONFIG.SYS to allow Virtual PC to intercept certain OS/2 system key combinations (Ctrl-Esc, Alt-Esc, Alt-Tab, C-A-D). It can be selected during installation. The keyboard monitor will be active when a virtual machine receives input focus and can be configured through the Virtual PC preferences.

Note that the Virtual PC keyboard monitor might not be compatible with certain other keyboard monitors. Most often, you find keyboard monitors in remote control applications like PolyPM/RSM, NetOp, Tivoli, etc. In case you experience system hangs starting Virtual machines or using your remote control application, it is recommended to remove either the remote control application or the Virtual PC keyboard monitor. This can be achieved through the Virtual PC Setup application.
