I have a 2008 MBP and i have installed Windows 7. I also use an 'APPLE' keyboard with a numeric keypad for my external monitor setup.

My questions are:

1. How to do I print screen on the Windows side of my MAC?

and

2. How come my numeric keypad on my APPLE keyboard does not work? Do I need drivers for it? Only the ENTER button works on that side. Anything numeric, I have to use the numbers across the top.


Been trying to find an answer online but 'command' + 'shift' + '3' does not work obviously.


Thanks

I think I can answer the number pad question: Try pressing the clear key to activate Num Lock.

Have you read Apple's Boot Camp Keyboard Mapping page? It should help with every Apple keyboard's mapping for Windows functions.

Per the MBP specific mapping page, Print Screen is "fn Shift F11" and Num Lock is "fn F6." Note that by default, the Boot Camp keyboard driver for the MBP makes the "Fx" function the primary function for the F keys, thus the need for the fn key with these keys to get the marked function. Depending on which external Apple keyboard you have, there could be different key combinations to turn on Num Lock. You can also tell Windows to start with Num Lock active, but that could be a problem if you go back and forth between the MBP's keyboard and the external keyboard.

Hope that helps...
