Parallels 3.0: Slow Typing in MS Excel, LotusNotes, Explorer, FireFox, etc

[whiteclw]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

I am using current (fully updated) versions of Parallels, MS Office 2008, with Windows XP Pro SP3 running in the guest OS. When Parallels is open and active, typing in cells in Excel in the Parallels environment -- even in a blank spreadsheet -- is extremely slow. There is a lag of several seconds between keystrokes and when the text appears on screen, and keystrokes are often lost as well. This keyboard lag is present in Lotus Notes, Internet Explorer, Firefox and all other programs that I run in Parallels. Any thoughts on how to resolve this issue?

Please upgrade your version of Office to 12.1.5. That update includes a fix
for that particular problem.

Thanks,
