Enable numlock in On-Screen Keyboard via accessibility makes it work in windows 7.
Also you can use regedit to change it for the current user "HKCU/control panel/keyboard/" set InitialKeyboardIndicators to 2. Do the same for InitialKeyboardIndicators in "HKU/.DEFAULT/control panel/keyboard" for default user
