Number keys on Mac Keyboard while using windows 7 in vm fusion

I am trying to use my wired keyboard with the number keys while in windows 7 through vm fusion on my mac and the number keys don't work. Does anyone know how to get these to work? I can't use them for the calculator or for quicken but when I go back into the mac calculator, they work fine...any answers out there?

YES!!!!! I usually have difficulty finding answers for issues I have in these forums. But this one helped!
I just got done installing VMWare Fusion 3 and Windows XP Home on my computer, then later noticed that the number keys were not working. talmy0 is correct, the clear key above the 7 works as the Number Lock Key on Mircosoft keyboards. Thanks, this was helpful.

Number keys on Mac keyboard with Windows in boot camp

I am using the full size wired keyboard with my iMac. While I am in WIndows XP Pro on Boot Camp, I can not use the number keys on the right side. Is there any way I can make these work? It might be picky, but is sure annoying the crap out of me. Any thoughts?

Windows key on mac keyboard

I have Windows 8.1 installed in VMWare Fusion on my iMac. I am using a wireless Mac keyboard.
Does anyone know a workaround on the Mac keyboard for the "Windows key"?

It may need a replacement PRAM (CMOS) battery. Certain peripherals and CPU bus attached mechanisms on computers may start to fail if the PRAM battery is low. http://www.ifixit.com/ explains how to replace it yourself, if you are not near an authorized service center, or not in the U.S. where some of these cheaper repair places exist:
http://www.dttservice.com/
http://www.powerbookresq.com/
http://www.microdocusa.com/
http://www.macspecialist.com/

Windows may address the keyboard differently than from the CMOS level.

Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

Converting Mac keyboard shortcuts to Windows/PC based shortcuts.

Hello,
Let me say, I have been using Mac based platforms since close to 1991 on and off. I used System 7 (and OS 8/9, but close enough to System 7) for many years up until I started to use Windows starting on the later 9x and XP platforms. As I start to drift away from Windows to more likely use Macs, however I would like to have a consistent keyboard shortcut system similar to Windows or Linux/UNIX (for that matter).
I actually get confused very easily switching from Macs and Windows with keyboard commands often when I use Windows comp and when I am using the Mac. (Just switching from different kinds of keyboards confuse me from the razor thin keys to a regular keyboard, because going from another one confuses me because of different pressures to press the on.)
I also believe this may have to do with a "workflow" process/scripting, if I am not mistaken. Is there a script I can download, that has close to the standard Windows/PC commands that I can import into the Mac, and can these scripts be edited to adapt my own commands as well? Is there a way to use most of the function keys (F1-12) for the standard commands for the different purposes? I also would like the Option (alt)-Tab to cycle the different apps and Option-Esc to cycle all windows opened. I would like to try to reduce all Option/Command/Control/Shift commands to just a couple of keystrokes or an F key. These modifier keys I think are becoming old, especially since it doesn't meet Apple's simplicity, giving there is up to three keystrokes to press at a given time for some commands.
I had tried the way on the System Preferences, but it doesn't go globally through all applications - real problem lies on the Apple apps on some. I strongly believe this is possible to do, since it might be able to work via a scripting system. I hope this could work. Apple has come a long way to open up the system's architecture without really messing things up, or just opening up the OS without hex apps is great. I hope they can just keep this up so the users can decide how they want their mac to work, because they know what's right for their purposes.
Thanks in advance,
Steven

You may like youpi key. It is free. It works fairly well for me in MAC OS 10.4 although not officially supported. There is a commercial version you can buy, called iKey.
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/11485&vid=75326
Here is my script for listing my application folder. I have it assigned to function-key 6.
tell application "Finder"
activate
select window of desktop
make new Finder window to startup disk
select Finder window 1
set target of Finder window 1 to folder "Applications" of startup disk
select Finder window 1
set position of Finder window 1 to {60, 45}
end tell
This script was automatically generated in script editor record mode. After I recorded the script and did some minor editing, I copy the script to youpi key.
I have all of my frequently used applications set to function keys. I am thinking of changing the switching to Scripts because there seems to be a side effect to some of the switching like the speaking.

Which version of OS X are you using?
• If Snow Leopard (10.6.x) or earlier, go to System Preferences > Universal Access
• If Lion (10.7.x) or later. go to System preferences > Accessibility
In the Mouse section in the preceding, look for the item Mouse Keys - if that function is "on", turn it off.

Overheating while using Windows XP with Bootcamp

Hi,
I bought a MacBook Pro last September 2009. The MacBook Pro came with Leopard but I installed Snow Leopard a couple of weeks later.
I need to use some Windows-based programs so I am using Windows XP with Bootcamp. However, I notice a high overheating when using Windows on Bootcamp (especially on the left side of the keyboard). Until now, the system doesn't crash but the overheating is a big problem for typing. This problem does not appear while I work on Snow Leopard.
Please, I would appreciate any help. I installed "SMCFanControl" but it only works under OS X (where there is not the problem). It doesn't control the fan on Windows under Bootcamp. Also, for this, I installed "SpeedFan" but it doesn't recognize the fans.
Thanks in advance.

A little solution that has helped me.

Input Remapper
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/Input-Remapper.shtml
This program allows you to adjust your fan speed without having to restart from Mac OS. Which is nice because with SMC if you close your macbook while running XP it will turn the fans off. Therefore you have to restart in Mac OS to turn the fan speeds back up.
The combination of the two has kept my cpu in the 65c range while heavy gaming and 45c at idle.
I have tried a lot of the ridiculous things that have been mentioned in both this thread and others. This solution has been an incredible relief because I certainly didn't want to get up every so often to run to the freezer or play over the air conditioner for several hours. I hope you have as much luck as I did.

It just makes me so mad while using windows vista home basic in bootcamp.

there are sooo many problems while running in windows vista home basic..
First..
the computer gets really **** hot after several minutes and the fans just never kick in at all...
second..
the system is soo unstable, is it because of the high temperature?
what all of these about??
is there any problem with my drivers or anything?
i thought apple says that windows will work perfectly in bootcamp..
i'm sooo disappointed. and i really need it to work well most of the times
but what is going on ? please..
i have the 2.5ghz MBP..
but it's like a 0.5 ghz while running windows.. sooo unstable and there are soo many problems!
also it shuts down by itself .. the blue screen says physical memory n stuff...?
it that my problem or the computer ?
did i do anything wrong?
someone please help.
i don't want my mbp runs like a tiger or something only under MAC OS x. and like a weak sick cat loses all its power while running windows?
if I have done any thing wrong .. please somebody tell me and i'm gonna fix it.
but if everybody has the same issue .. i think i will be just sooo mad of buying this computer..

Essentially all you have done here is create a list of complaints without really providing a lot of information about your problems. Maybe if you gave us some specifics we could help. And to answer one of your questions: yes, you can have windows running absolutely fine in BootCamp. My Vista copy works fine without an problems and it is quite fast. I've actually never had a Blue Screen with it. It is true that macs as a rule use fewer system resources and so will probably be faster for some basic tasks, but it shouldn't be too a point where you notice much of a difference.
Now for that memory problem you described. How much RAM does your computer have. Vista uses a lot of RAM and if you run a lot of applications at once in Vista, you might be overloading your RAM.

Play/Pause key on Mac keyboard now Play/STOPs iTunes?

The Play/Pause key on my Mac keyboard used to Play/Pause the music. Ever since upgrading to iTunes 9.1, however, the key acts as Play/Stop, so if music is playing and I hit the key, it will STOP the music, and when I hit Play again, it won't continue from where it stopped but it will instead choose a different song in the same playlist to play. How can I fix this to revert to the previous functionality?

Weird, just realized that it only happens when using QuickSilver to select a song. Still, it didn't used to do this.

How do I use the built-in microphone on my iMac while using Windows XP?

My iMac has a built-in microphone. My computer is set up with a partition to run either mac or windows. I would like to use the built-in microphone feature when I am using Windows XP. Is there any way that I can do this?

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
assuming you have installed the neccessary BootCamp Drivers from the OSX Leopard DVD the internal mic is useable with any kind of recording software.
Windows itself has a rather rudimentary Audiorecorder program built-in.
For a more sophisticated recording program have a look at Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Rendering from AECS5 (Mac) for someone using Windows Media Player 11?

Does anyone know if it's possible, and if so what settings, I could render out of AECS5 on a Mac to a format someone using Window Media Player 11 in Windows XP so they could view the file?
They are unable to install any other software or codecs other than what comes stock with the XP install.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Kristin.

MPEG-2 should work. If you include audio, you will get a .mpg file which WMP should play.
Edit: Sorry, I am wrong about that; they would need to have a DVD decoder pack installed which apparently doesn't come standard.
Here are two links that don't have an answer, but have info about the problem:

Multiple instances of AcroRd32.exe while using Windows Explorer Preview Pane

I'm trying to understand why our computers behave differently while browsing PDF files using Windows Explorer with the preview pane turned on.
All are Windows 7 Pro 32-bit.
The scenario: Open Windows Explorer with the preview pane turned on, go to a folder full of PDF files, and start single-clicking on them, one by one down the list. Keep Task Manager open, on the Processes tab, showing processes from all users, as you click on the PDF files.
On two of the computers, you can keep clicking right on the down the list, and the preview pane shows the PDF file contents immediately with each click. The Task Manager does not show any instances of AcroRd32.exe running, and the machine does not slow down no matter how quickly you go down the list of files. You can keep clicking all day.
On the other two computers, as you keep clicking down the list, after about six or seven clicks, the machine starts getting slower and slower in responding to display the PDF contents. In Task Manager, you see multiple instances of AcroRd32.exe executing, and the list keeps growing with more instances - I've seen up to 8, with memory allocations to some of the instances approaching 700MB! One of the CPU cores goes to 100%. If you stop clicking in Windows Explorer, eventually, the machine recovers, and the list of multiple instances of AcroRd32.exe shrinks, but never goes away completely until you close the Explorer window.
What could account for this difference? One of the users is complaining - he often browses folders of scanned PDFs looking for invoices, transactions, etc., and has to go slowly to keep his machine from bogging down. I don't know when this behavior started.
It doesn't matter if it is a shared folder on a network resource or one locally on the machine, or if it is an admin or standard Windows account - the behavior is the same. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader, to no avail.
Thanks for any ideas.

Yes i'm having this issue to.
Becomes worse after display many documents in pane, worst even if scanned images are in.
After killing the process, sometimes it generate even more process.
After Killing all the process, sometimes need to deactivate the pane view and activate
again to restore normal preview.
Sometimes it takes a lot of time to progress to file below, if i wait, going to files above, it pass
the file that shows delay, without any problem.
I add received from Microsoft, in answer to the same issue to uninstall adobe reader and install
latest version. It become a bit more stable, but problem still shows.
Abobe reader: 10.1.0, ATI latest drivers 11-07
Please, Help!
