Do you mean whilst you are using Windows via Parallels or in OSX?0

Using Parallels, have you installed the Parallels Tools which come with the software?
What mouse are you using? I ask because when using Parallels on the MacBook Pro, I have to "triple finger" click instead of "double finger" clicking to right click - gosh, that's not a tech sentence you hear very often. Something similar may be happening.
That said, I dumped parallels in favour of separate boot partitions quite some time ago.0 -
Try Ctrl+Shift and mouse button (this sends a "right click"). Or use a two button mouse if its an option.
I think one of the Apple keys is also an equivalent of a right click in Parallels but I can't remember (not using the Mac right now).0 -
Brilliant, thanks.. CTRL + Click did the trick!!0
