When I use Windows via Parallels 8, my mac settings change to US standards from my normal UK standards. I have checked Windows and it thinks it is a UK machine with UK keyboard, etc. But as soon an application is opened, the international flag on the OSX top bar switches to a US flag and the keyboard mapping is then wrong. If I reset it to UK it will be fine until I open another application, when it switches to US again. Any ideas what I might have done... strange because i have been using Parallels 6 and 7 for years and it has never occurred before, and it is the same virtual machine I have had all along.
