Trying to use Apple keyboard on Mac Pro with boot camp. Should there be issues?

Is there a setting in Internet Explorer that would prevent the keyboard from working normally (IE not needing to enter special codes for simple characters like '/', Cap Lock etc?)

Had to try and set up IE for use with a banking system and they gave a bunch of security requests that I am suspecting has caused it not to work properly but have no clues beyond that

Thanks a lot

Geoff

Did you install Apple's boot camp drivers? Because otherwise, keyboard layout will be the default Windows layout, which is quite different from OS X's.

Install ALL the Boot Camp drivers. Boot Camp will be intelligent about it, and you'll get the right ones for your hardware. But Spheric is spot on: things get weird when you go without the keyboard driver.
