    Hi I have a Macbook (not pro), and when I installed parallels tools the keyboard worked in parallels but in bootcamp the keyboard didn't respond!

    i uninstalled Parallels tools, and I did the time restore thing, but it still doesn't respond!

    it works in Mac Os X

    only the On Screen keyboard works. I haven't tested out with a USB keyboard. I did install the drivers and such. the Mighty Mouse works.

    Interesting thing happened on my C2D MacBook Pro

    I got a Core 2 Duo 2.16GHz and what happened was, I had it in sleep mode (lid closed) for a bit.. moved to another desk.. and the keyboard/trackpad decided not to work, so I thought OKAY I'll go and power it off, to the apple-option-P-R, no luck.

    Then I started to panic a bit and chuck in (as suggested to a workmate) to run applejack.. (had to use an external keyboard to boot to single user mode... no go... then tried to boot into selecting a startup disk (holding option at bootup) and that worked a treat.

    So now that it's working, I'd usually go meh, it wont happen again. but I'd love to know what could cause it, and WILL it happen again?

    UPDATE: Glad to see nobody else has had that problem, I must be going insane *rolls eyes*....

    so yeah.. getting to the Parallels assumption.. I'm using Vista, and occasionally... it asks about installing USB HID something.. I should have read that, sorry...

    Update: AGAIN!!! here is the culprit!

    OI realizd Windoze (grr) corrupted its own drivers for the keyboard. It had nothing to do with parallels.

    I found out that with the limited ram, only 1 gb, I cannot run windows and mac efficiently and use the apps I want. So sadly I won't be using it anymore until my dad lets me upgrade to 2gb.

    Thanks tho!
