I am running Windows 7 Ultimzate 64 bit on my Mac Pro using Bootcamp. My Mac OS is Lion. When I installed Windows in Boot Camp I installed the Mac Drivewrs and Utilities. For some reason Windows does not recognize the number pad on my Mac USB key board. I have checked the driver in the Windows trouble shooter and no issues are identified. Not sure what else to do. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I figured it out. On a Windows key board number pad there is a number lock key. In its place on the Apple key board is a clear key. When using the Apple key board in Windows this clear key functions as the Num Lock key. It toggle the number pad between being a number pad and being a navigation pad. Hitting the clear key solved the problem.
