Viewing keyboard mapping does not help. The numeric keys on the right side of the keyboard does not enter numbers when pressed into a windows excel spread sheet or an access file. If I use the keyboard in a Mac Numbers file for example it works fine. But I need ti to work when running boot camp and a Windows Program. is there a keyboard driver missing for this that causes it not to work?

Thanks
Gordon

Do you have BC drivers installed? Is there a Control Panel -> System -> Boot Camp option? In the Boot Camp panel, do you see the following options?

The drivers should be similar to the following in Device Manager.
