Hi, I am using Parallels with my MacBook and I am running
XP Pro in German. Just a simple Question: How can I type
the "@"-Letter?

I have tried every single combination of letters and keys.

Please send me your suggestions and hints. Thanks . . .
 
In mine it's ctrl+alt+2, which is the Portuguese layout.
If ctrl+alt+q is not working (the german layout I believe) than maybe the keyboard layout isn't well configured under XP, double check those settings.
 
The keystrokes required for typing different special symbols are listed in the table below:

1) If you have French(France) layout:

@- "Alt Gr + 0"
# - "Alt Gr + 3"

2) If you have German(Germany) layout:
@- "Alt Gr + q"

{- "Alt Gr + 7"
}- "Alt Gr + 0"
[- "Alt Gr + 8"
] - "Alt Gr + 9"

3) if you have Swedish (Sweden) layout:

@- "Alt Gr + 2"
4) If you have Norwegian(Bokmal) layout:

@- "Alt Gr + 2"
$- "Alt Gr + 4"
{- "Alt Gr + 7"
}- "Alt Gr + 0"
[- "Alt Gr + 8"
] - "Alt Gr + 9"

5). If you have Dutch (Belgian) layout:

@- "Alt Gr + 2"

Press "CTRL + ALT " instead "Alt Gr" on MacBook and MacBook Pro

Also you can do the following:


1. In the Mac top bar, click "Parallels Desktop->Preferences", choose "Keyboard" tab. Check "Translate from AltGr to NumEnter" option.

2. Then try to use the Enter key to the left from cursors keys instead of AltGr

Press FN+ENTER to reproduce INSERT (only for Mac Books and/or Mac Book Pros)


How to find out the keyboard layout in Mac OS X and Windows:


* Mac OS X: open Mac -> System Preferences -> International -> Input Menu and find out what layouts you are using.

* Windows XP: open Control Panel->Regional and Language Options->Languages->Details->Installed Services, where you can find the layout.
