Virtual Pc For Mac Keyboard Issue

I am running OS 10.4.2 and have installed Virtual PC for Mac 7.0.2. I am running Windows XP within Virtual PC. The problem is that I need to have the Windows XP believe I have the Num Lock key enabled so I can use the number keypad on my Mac keyboard in the PC version of Quicken. I know this is not a big issue, but it is a real pain. Any ideas about how to make the Virtual PC believe that my Mac keyboard has the Number Lock key enabled?

Thanks for your attention.

My VirtualPC with Windows XP works if I press the "numlock" key (upper left-hand button on the keypad). Even though the numlock light doesn't come on, VirtualPC detects that it is enabled (and, "NUM" appears in the status bar at the bottom of the VirtualPC Windows XP window, indicated that numlock is active).
