    Number pad won't work under bootcamp

    I am using Mac Mini and i have installed Boot Camp on this laptop. I have used boot camp for installing Windows XP on this machine. When i boot this laptop from Leopard then there is no problem while using the Number Pad but it does not respond when i use it from the Windows os. What could be the problem with windows here?

    You are under Qwerty keyboard instead of QWERTY. On Windows, I do not know, but on Mac OS - System Preferences / International / Languages..you put the English at the top of list in the "Input Menu" you check "Show input menu in menu bar", you also select the language you want by unchecking all others. Take this opportunity to check the boxes "Character Palette" and "Visualizer keyboard". Then returned to the finder in the menu bar, icon with a flag, you can choose the type of keyboard, Need to restart the Mac.

    Your version of XP Pro SP2, it is official or Cracked? If it is Cracked, the normal pack2 make you crash, I know who prevented it from booting the PC altogether. If cons is an official version, will see where you bought your CD, maybe the seller will give you the manipulations to be done if your Mac will automatically detect and correct your keyboard. It has not seem simple to run under Mac, the few people I know who have them are always bored with, to believe that nothing is compatible with this stuff.

    You have to just boot several times so that at some point an integrated USB keyboard does the MBP, but i have a problem with my MS USB keyboard. Joining the regular keyboard for the first time will need the NT kernel which has been already loaded then the keyboard works without any problems. Problem comes only when the message comes "Please press any key to install Windows", because you will be nothing else than to boot more often times hold (hold then the ALT key when the "Start Sound" comes and the Select CD in the boot manager), at some point the keyboard responds. I guess this could be due to the bug in EFI or the PC BIOS emulation.

    Here is an official feature of the next Mac OS X operating system version that was based on a BETA been published before the "old" mac user need to get used (more quickly) because the request in the future more windows support here to start and it may sound strange, but so bothers me personally the way through it, I know as a switcher but one or the other advantage of the windows and setting it is better than its reputation in the world of mac. One should not blinkers and blinded by a "mac only" tunnel vision transform the world through the computer.

    Apple Driver Reinstall : In my hats worked as follows: the user account, where anything went (but must have administrator status), separate the separate mouse and connect after a few seconds. Keyboard and trackpad still nil. With the help of mouse in the Control Panel software. Apple drivers uninstalled. Without booting then install drivers again and see there, since everything works.
    Another tip for Apple keyboard (MacBook Pro) under Windows. With the Windows tool you can remapkey vornhehmen a different keyboard mapping. For ALT GR lends itself perfectly to the right shift key, which you need anyway, hardly.
