On iMac 24 intel, I use Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac to work with Windows XP Home edition bk of some SW which only works in Windows. BUT, I cannot get the the numerical pad (num lock) to work while on Windows.

Numerical pad works fine in Mac as does everything else!!!
Switcher and damn glad...with iMac and PB who would not be happy!

I see you've had no responses to this thread. I'm interested to know if you have any answers anyway? I have a MacBook Pro 17 running Parallels. When Ii use my Mac external keyboard (bluetooth) I cannot get the number [ad to work corrctly at all. I try to enter a number from it and the cursor jumps to some crazy place in the app. (It's behavior seems to depend on the app.) I also note the the delete key on my built-in keyboard doesn't delete when I'm using Outlook on the VM. I'm emailing Parallels today...

I did receive an answer using another forum and it worked perfect!!!

Once you enter Windows via Parallels...Try pressing the "clear" key on the Num Pad. Seems to work as a Num Locks key in windows...In fact, the clear button on the Mac keyboard as I remember is the Num Lock on Windows keyboard.

Let me know if this works.
