I have fusion installed on an iMac. I have Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2 installed in a virtual package.

Use the "On-Screen keyboard in Windows XP"
Start -> All Programs -> Accesories -> Accessibilityclick the "nlk" "key" and then close the on-screen keyboard.
now the 10-keys on the external USB keyboard works correctly!
A note here - the "nlk" key on the on-screen keyboard is located on the top row, just above keypad 7
