Hi,

i've got a big problem with PD4 (3844): If i start my VM (Windows XP Pro SP3) i loose all of my modifier keys (shift, ctrl, alt etc). So i can not log on in windows... Also my CPU usage goes up to 200% (dual core machine). I've followed all instructions i found here. Posted a support case. They gave me a tool "Cleanup Kernel Extensions" which temporary was a solution but i still have this problem. Last Week everything was OK. Today i have this problem again.

I want a final solution for this, otherwise i will stop using parallels forever!

Kind regards
 
Didn't work

I am using Parallels 4.0.3846 on MacOS 10.5.8.
I lost the ability to type capital letters.
I spent a couple of hours following the instructions to completely remove Parallels from my system and then reinstall it from a freshly downloaded copy.
This did not solve the problem.
The only thing that I did not get rid of was my Windows XP virtual machine image.
This tells me that the ignore-the-shift-key bug is somehow encoded in that VM.

If I have to start all over again and rebuild the VM, I might as well try doing it in Fusion. It's certainly going to be no more work, and at least it will have a different set of bugs.
