I'm actually using a mac bluetooth keyboard on bootcamp right now... running windows XP. Everything is running perfectly. I'm just wondering about how i would be able to use the number pad on the bluetooth keyboard... if the keyboard doesnt have a number lock key? any ideas?
Also... does anyone have any ideas... in terms of... getting the built-in webcam to work on XP
Thanks for your help

On the Apple keyboards, the "clear" key works as the Num-Lock key (possibly the stupidest key on the keyboard BTW) when using Windows.

One of the many annoyances of windows is that by default, the numlock key is off. I found a freeware app at download.com. http://www.download.com/Keyset/3000-...ml?tag=lst-0-4
It is called keyset 1. Maybe it will work for you. It worked on my logitech cordless desktop. It sets certain keys (eg. numlock, caps lock, etc.) to be set by default on boot in windows.

There are a lot better ways to make Number Lock come on by default. The best one requires a bit of Registry tweaking, but it's pretty benign. The instructions are here. As always, make sure you back up the registry before you dork with it, or your Windows installation may become dorked.
