Numeric keypad stopped working in Fusion

My numeric keypad has stopped working in Fusion. It still works in OS X. The keypad used to work in Fusion, but has mysteriously stopped. How can I get it back?

Sounds like your VM thinks that NumLock is off. Try hitting the "Clear" button in the upper-left of the numeric keypad.

On a MacBook Pro the Clear button on the overlay numeric keypad is numeral 6 (with the carat ^) on it. This is indicated by the "c" symbol on that key too.

I had the same problem and fixed it by tapping the "clear" key right above the numeral 7 on your keypad

That worked for me... the "clear" key above 7 on the numeric keypad.
