And how do you expect it should work? I mean what is the exact problem?
Surfing Parallels website I could only find the mouse problem. Maybe you will find more here: http://kb.parallels.com/43/

I have the same problem the special characters arent working properly and the keyboard special characters are messed up. Any solutions to this?

i found the solution to this problem:

run windows

go to control panels--> Regional land anguage options --> Language --->Details

Under Detail input language choose --> English (Canada) -US or English (United States) - US

then click apply that should solve it, thats how it solved my problem

Na altura, instalei as ferramentas do teclado que vinham com o boot camp.

Posteriormente em novas instalações, este problema desapareceu com a instalação das ferramentas que vêm com o parallels (Install parallels tools no menu virtual machine).

Espero que ajude!
