    How do you make the numbers on the side of your keyboard work on a standard keyboard. I can only make the numbers on the top of my keyboard work but not the ones on the right hand side?

    Does anyone know how to make them work?

    Num Lock for Windows from Mac keyboard

    Press the "clear" key above the numeric pad "7" key. This key corresponds to the Num Lock key on a Windows keyboard.

    Works on my Mom's new iMac 20" when in XP VM.

    I spent an hour on the phone with tech support today because I could not figure this out. My initial search on the web did not come up with this answer either. BTW, when I reached someone at Parallels, they did not know the answer to this either, however they are "working on it".

    Thanks for the simple solution !!!

    You are a life saver! I was going to go out and purchase a USB numeric keypad....what a relief to find this out.

    Many thanks.
