    I am having a weird problem:

    When I hit "m" on my keyboard, the window I am in minimises. Hitting "L" will log me out of Windows. Other keys have odd behavior too.

    When I first log into Windows this does not happen until a few minutes later. I doubt this is a virus, because this is a fresh copy with very little, if anything, downloaded.

    Any ideas?

    It sounds like Windows thinks you're holding down the Windows (Command/Apple) key. Try pressing and releasing both Command keys.

    I think this maybe a parallels problem. When I go back to the Mac and then return the cursor to Windows, the problem is gone, at least temporarily. Anyone seen this?

    Yes, just press and release all of the command keys and shift at the same time (or in windows terms... control, winkey, alt, shift), and it will unstick itself. I had that problem when switching back and forth. You can probably unstick it with less keys pressed, but that should get it to work.
