People,
I just created a second virtual machine (VPC 7.02 on Mac OS 10.2.8). My
first VM has Windows XP Home. The new VM has Windows XP Pro. The PC
settings are the same on both VMs. The problem is, my first VM (XP Home)
recognizes the numerical keys on my standard extended Mac keyboard but
the new VM will not. I've looked at the control panel for both Windows
installations and they both say I have the, "VM Additions PC/AT Enhanced
PS/2 Keyboard". What do I need to do to have the new VM recognize my
full extended keyboard?

Thanks in advance.
John

Press the Clear key on the keyboard (same as Numlock on a standard PC
keyboard)

Paul,
Yes that works, but the num lock key is NOT active for my VM that has
Windows XP Home. There must be something else to it.
