Answer Wiki:
Ctl-Alt-Del is "Control"-"Alt" (Option)- Fn>"Delete" on a Mac portable's keyboard. You can also use Microsoft's utility to remap a del key on the keyboard as this is what the issue is. The utility is called remapper. It is located here: <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9d467a69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&DisplayLang=en">http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9d467a69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&DisplayLang=en.</a> You can also use a Windows USB keyboard and use the keys natively. This is normally what I do. But I also have a crap load of Windows Keyboards laying around.
