    Hi everybody.

    I am helpless. I do something wrong and I don't know what. Once after a while I end up in typing a letter and my WIN XP messes around with system shortcuts instead of typing the letters in what program ever.

    How do I bring my windows back to normal work in these cases? In my frustration I do a complete reboot of my virtual machine to stop it. But that CAN'T be the answer.

    Thank you for any good advice. Achim

    Achimk,

    Looks like the keys are getting stuck, etiher physically, or through a known issue in Parallels Desktop. OUr developers are working on fixing it.

    Meanwhile, try pressing Ctrl+Cmd+Shift+Alt (all the function keys), this usually unsticks them.

    Function Keys Stuck

    Has the issue of the functions keys being stuck in Parallels DT 4 been resolved?. This happens very frequent in my machine.

    Any help on a permanent fix would be greatly appreciated.
