If it truly is a Parallels question and has no 'redeeming Mac-specific aspect' then, yes, you should ask in Parallels' forum. However, I recently saw a possibly similar question that was entirely about MacOS X keyboard layouts. Feb 07, 2010 If it truly is a Parallels question and has no 'redeeming Mac-specific aspect' then, yes, you should ask in Parallels' forum. Sorry I'm new at this. Bluetooth iMac keyboard works great on the Mac. When in windows with Parallels numbers keypad dose not work. The rest of the keyboard works fine.
Hey guys! Ive been using BOOTCAMP to run windows on my Mac, but its a pain to have to switch between OS'. So i just got Parallels and everything runs fine except for one thing, the keyboard has an issue. For the buttons shift, control, alt, etc...they work by holding them down, and once you release, they activate. So in order to use them (say Triple Throw, it only works once i let go of the key) which also means i cant hold the key for continuos skill use and have to push it each time to attack. Ive heard of this problem with others before but havent got an answer from anyone......soooo anyone got one?
Thnx in advance guys!
