    Hello. First time poster.

    I'm running Windows 7 32bit from a bootcamp partition on the latest stable Parallels 5 installation. My issue is that scroll lock seems to activate itself for no reason from time to time when I'm typing inside of a windows application. There's no rhyme or reason to it. Scroll lock just decides to activate and my key strokes start doing great things like opening up windows help and locking my workstation. Lovely. I've tried to re-install Parallels tools on the advice of my help desk and short of scrapping my install and starting again I'm reaching out for some help. Anyone ever encounter this and have a solution?

    Thanks,
    Sergio

    I'm having the same problem. I've had it on Windows Server 2003 as well.

    Yeah, the key mapping in Parallels seems a bit flaky at times (viz. the very unreliable behaviour when people try to use cmd-tab to invoke 3d flip). Have you tried using the "optimize modifier keys for games" setting?
