Default can I use a mac keyboard?

I used a windows PT today. I'm not familiar enough with windows to know what OS it was. Of course being a mac user I had to slow down to avaiod hitting the wrong keys. Can you plug a Mac keyboard into a PC protools? I'm guessing not. Also, is there a way on a two monitor system to reverse the layout? THat is, have the menus items appear on the right screen rather than the left?

Mark.

Yes you can.
I used my G4 USB Kbd with my WXP PC for months without a problem.

Hi,
You can use the mac keyboard but it will not solve you moved modifier key problem. you can use a program called key tweak to move the modifiers into the mac position on a windows keyboard. that's what i do.
peace,
brandon

* Right click desktop
* Choose "Properties"
* Select the "Settings" tab.
* In the "Display" dropdown select your secondary monitor.
* Check "Use this device as my primary monitor"

THanks. I tried it but it didn't work. All the pro tools menus are still on the left hand side. I want all the menus to be on the right hand monitor.
