Problems playing games on Laptop

[FinalBob42]

Some games will not work because of the lack of a NumPad.

In FFVII, for example, I can't even start the game! I tried copying my ff7input.ini to another computer and it worked to begin with (EDIT: by moving the controls to the main board). Now, however, I can't select a name because you can't select what you have without the numpad feature!

Is there any way to emulate the numpad on a Laptop or go around this problem?

You can buy a num pad that plugs into the USB. Dunno if that'll help though.

Apparently, you can create a NumPad with Fn + F8 in most cases on the actual keyboard. But thanks anyway.

Or try turning the numlock on :p If you look at the keys, you should see some have the numpad thing printed on them as well, and they're only active when numlock is active :p Numlock on my particular laptop is shift scroll-lock.
