    I am having a keystroke problem that I don't know how to resolve.

    When I type certain keys (within Windows, running in Coherent mode) I am unable to type the characters, instead different actions happen within Windows.

    For example, when I try to type an M, nothing happens, an E will open My Computer, L locks the screen, etc.

    I've seen this problem before but I don't remember what I did to resolve the problem.

    Does anyone know what the problem/conflict is and how to resolve it.

    TIA
    Elliot

    Also having this problem with Leopard, Windows 7 and Word 2007. Would love to hear if anyone has any ideas, seems to be pretty random. Restarting Windows seems to clear it but it's annoying to have to do that every time.

    Hi, I'm having this problem too and have posted about it without reply yet:

    "I'm using Parallels on a 24" iMac with Windows 7 and Office 2007. Everything is a normal install. When using Word 2007 and typing, it sometimes randomly jumps out of Word, changes windows and even launches an Explorer window. It seems to especially be the case with the arrow keys, combined with random other ones. The only way to solve it is to restart Windows. It's very annoying if I'm translating or typing out a document."

    Hope that helps for now. Anyone any ideas?
