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

Scrilla

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.

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).
