Problems booting QNX 6.5 with VM Player 5.0.2 under Windows 8

Hello,

I install VM Player 5.0.2 without problems on my Windows 8 laptop.  I run VM Player 5.0.2 to create a new virtual machine from qnxsdp-6.5.0-x86-201007091524-nto.iso.  The virtual machine is created without problems and appears in left panel of VM Player window.  The problem arises when I try to play the VM.  I get the screen below but there is no response to pressing F3 or F2.  The boot of the VM appears to just hang.  I am being prompted to select between 2 choices:

F2 - Run from CD (Hard Disk filesystems mounted under /fs)

F3 - Install QNX to a new disk partition

Select? _

Pressing F2 or F3 produces no response we are just hung.   I can suspend the VM and then try to play again but same thing just happens.  I am attaching screen shot of the VM screen also.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Rob
