Hey guys im trying to install windows xp right now and im in the blue setup screen. It says hit F8 to agree, esc to cancel, and page down to next page. It will let me hit escape but i cant get it to move forward, i cant get f8 to work? Any ideas? I have clicked inside the window but it still does nothing. Thanks
 
You did of course hold down the 'fn' key while pressing F8, right?

I've found that now that I'm using Windows on my MBP a lot of the time, it makes life easier to reverse it so I don't have to do Fn when hitting function keys. There's a setting for that in the Keyboard & Mouse panel in System Preferences.
