    It's the 0 on the numpad.

    You had me stumped for a while. I was searching for a good five minutes.

    the insert on the numpad is used when you have the numlock off not on. turn off numluck and hit the 0 (insert) key to use it.

    Ok Found the solution it doesnt work if NUM Lock is on!

    Really enjoying the new system, its just a shame that i couldnt get Dell to replace the 8gb ram i just bought for the m1730.

    trying to sell that now but it wont come close to price of DDR3 ram.
