Hi.
Well, I updated qemu to the latest version.
then I got to the directory where I have my windows image, and ran:
qemu win.img -soundhw all -localtime -curses
And a surprice came, I heard the xp startup sound.
But a problem is after that, I can't seem to do anything in xp.
For example pressing start button and r to bring up the run box doesn't give
any result.
Because when typing a ltter, and pressing enter in tat box, you get a sound
telling you that there is no such thing there.
also, when pressing allt f4, I'm getting back to a linux login screen.
It shouldn't be like that.
I'hve tested with the -full-screen option.
What can be wrong now?
