The number keys on the right are locked and I cant use them.  When I press the numlock key it just beeps and a pad lock open and shut on the screen.

Can anyone help? . i bought this laptop especially for these number keys.

    Control Panel ----> Ease Of Access Center -----> Make the keyboard easier to use  -----> uncheck the box, 'Turn On Mouse Keys'
    You can also change the setting for the mouse keys to enable it only when NumLock is off.

    Mouse Keys is a Windows feature that allows one to use their number keys to move the cursor around.
