    Hi,

    iMac OSX 10.6.5 and Parallels Desktop 5 for Mac.... have changed to a full mac USB keyboard (the one with the numpad on the right) rather than the wireless keyboard.

    I've read various posts on here, have tried re-installing the drivers in the Windows control panel, the optimize keyboard for gaming checkbox and using the Clear button (equivalent to numlock on the mac keyboard) and yet I still have an issue whereby the keyboard fully stops working for mac as soon as I've booted Windows in Parallels (ie it works after launching parallels up to the point where I boot Windows).

    The letters and numbers work for the Windows programs, but nothing works for the Mac OSX applications. I re-plugged my wireless keyboard in and it works for all applications (ie both mac and windows).

    This is driving me mad, any suggestions?

    Number pad issues related to the Mac. The number pad worked on the iMac , however not on Parallels?
    ANS: The Mac keyboard uses the CLEAR key as a NUMLOCK key.
