Haha! Sometimes when using VM Ware and Windows the numbers don't come out when you press them. On a Mac with a NUM LOCK key you switch it on or off and it works. Can't do that on MacBook Air I've got.

Have you installed the bootcamp drivers inside your Windows VM?<br />
<br />
They are on the mac operating system Dvd. These will install any apple specific drivers and may resolve the num lock issue.

Apple has discontinued the NUM lock key in the new keyboards, being there isn't much need for it anymore. As ChaS3me stated, if you need NUM lock, then you can connect a different keyboard.

<br />
Is this the same for all Mac laptops?<br />
