Depending on your settings in System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard, you may have to press Fn-F8 to get an actual "F8" keypress to Parallels. Also, F8 may be bound to a Mac OS X system feature like Expose; you can check that in System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts.
