    Anyone else having a problem with the backslash key \ on a MacBook Pro?

    Running WinXP SP2 with a keyboard and regional settings set to UK I get the #

    A search of the forums suggests lots of problems were fixed a few releases back - I'm on beta 6

    thanks

    This is a problem that only affects users with a UK keyboard mapping.

    I have the same issue. I have solved it by downloading the following app:

    Run this from inside your Parallels XP session - it will remap the key to the left of the Z key in XP to work as the backslash \ key. Now you can map to other Windows machines on your network easily!
