Hi suellen 0,


Although this is an earlier article, this may have the solution:


Boot Camp 2.0, Mac OS X v10.5: Frequently asked questions

Specifically the section:

My keyboard's numeric keypad does not work in Windows.


Press the Num Lock key to enable the numeric keypad in Windows. If your keyboard doesn't have a key labelled Num Lock, try the Clear key.


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Thanks Nubz,

I did try the Num lock but nothing worked.

However i connected a Windows dase keyboard with numeric keys. once it had installed it's self all the keys worked fine on the Windows Keyboard.

I then disconnected the windows keyboard and re-connected the Apple numeric keyboard and It worked. I am not sure what happened but the Apple keyboard works fine now.

Perhaps it had something to do with the Windows drivers for the Windows keyboard.

Really i have no idea, but it works now.
