    Hi,

    I'm using Parallels v4.0 3384 and running Vista SP 1 on the virtual machine mode (not the boot camp). I have the problem with Keyboard when working in Windows (Coherence Mode). Sometime I can type everything correctly and later on I will find the issue that when I press any key in the keyboard it will go to the shortcut menu in the Vista. So, when I working in the Windows, I cannot type the things again, it will go to the shortcut everytime. This is just for some character but it make me unworkable. What I have to do is to restart the Vista (VM) and the it will be normal for a while and then the problem will come again. I'm not sure that what button I might pressed to make this error, but I could not find the cause of the problem so far. So, anyone have any suggestion for this. I think this issue stop me for the work in Vista, I need to use excel and Outlook mail.

    Thank you in advanced for any response, this will help me so much. Thank you again.

    Did you check the following article?

    It seems like a "sticky key" problem that had been discussed here for quite a while.

    Hi Thank you for your response, I think it exactly what you said "Sticky Key" Issue. I have seen the workaround from the link and I think it's not a good idea. BEcause in the window, we need the key such "Command + C" & "Command V" so much, if we disable them it make me unproductive for sure. Hope this issue will get fix soon. Thank you again.
