Number Pad no Longer works

l02turner

Hello, I recently wrote asking for help getting my mouse/glidepad working again & once I got the glidepad working, I found the number pad at the right side of the keyboard no longer works. I use the # Pad often to enter long columns of numbers and miss it.

1st, I'd like to reload the Driver as that seems like it might be the problem but I'm not sure what is controlling the Numberpad. When I went to ControlPanel\DeviveManager, I could not locate anything that sounded like it might control the # Pad.

What should I check?

Thanks to all -

Hold the fn key + f12 Hold the fn key and press f12 once. It is used to enable and disable the number lock. If there is a number lock key you can also press it alone. Try pressing f12 alone. On some computer you can see num lock symbol on either f11 or f12. Most of the cases fn + f12 will work.
