Getting Number Pad to Work in Windows

[Freedomcoach]

Hi Everyone:

I have Windows 7 running in a VM on my Macbook. I've been unable to get my number pad to be recognized by Windows. Typing on it does nothing. I tried adding the keyboard as a device using guest additions but this had no effect. Any suggestions?

I don't know about Windows 7, but in my Ubuntu Linux VM, hitting the 'clear' key (above the '7' on my full size keyboard) activates the number pad.

Thanks, I will give this a try.

This worked! Thank you. However, I need to hit the clear key each time I launch windows 7. It would be cool if there was some way for it to be set permanently.
