Hi!
I have been searching up and down trying to find a solution for this, but I might use the wrong search words.

When I try to type characters like [ I press ALT+8 and it works fine in OSX ML, but it won't work running Windows 7 with parallel desktop 7.

I also can't type } in OSX and Win7, but thats probably because my evil twin brother has done something with my keyboard. If you are reading this, I can tell you right now that one day I will get you Fredrick, one day you will suffer for the things you have done to me!

Anyway, thanks for any help I might get. This messageboard has always been able to deliver for me, thanks for that!:)


Edit. I have tried changing the keyboard setting in Windows (Keyboard and language) with no results


Solved:
I did this and it seems to solve the problem.

Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Language & Text, and then click Input Sources.

Select the Keyboard & Character Viewer checkbox.
