key just recently it happened. Don't know why.

There is a known bug in Virtual PC 7 (right up tp version 7.0.3) where if
you switch into Virtual PC from another Macintosh application, the virtual
machine will not update its display.

Pressing and releasing the Command key will rectify this... for reasons
unclear, and undocumented.

Kind regards,
