    I have been using autoCAD 2009 since last year and now I am using AutoCAD 2010 on my macbook pro (2.4, 4GB ram) on Windows XP with Paralles 4. I upgraded to Parallels 5 a couple of days ago and I am still having a problem that I have experienced since I started using AutoCAD with Parallels:

    While using certain keyboard shortcuts (ie. ro-rotate, m-move, mi-mirror, l-line) a windows action is executed. For example:
    -if I press the 'm' on my keyboard, AutoCAD will minimize and I will be at my desktop.
    -if I press 'l' on my keyboard, Windows XP will automatically just log out.
    -if I press 'r' on my keyboard, the windows run application will pop up.

    It doesn't do it all the time, just periodically during a work session approximately every 10-20 min. I am able to get rid of this sometimes by simply saving my work and other times my going to my Mac OS desktop and clicking in there and then going back parallels.

    Has anyone experienced this problem and have you been able to fix it? I am not sure if it is a Windows, Parrallels, or Autocad problem.

    Thank you for your help.
