number pad not working

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage (More info?)

Can someone help me. The number pad on my keyboard is not working for the
numbers, the hot keys as in pg dn/pg up ets are working just the numbers are
not, whn I press numlock the computer beeps (a deep tone) and when I take the
numlock off it beeps again (a high pitched tone). To the best of my
knowledge no new program downloads have taken place.
Is there anyone out there that can help me.

Thanks in advance
Sue

I actually bought a new keyboard and hey presto, the numbers don't work, I
also brought a keyboard home from work and the same outcome.

Have you tried pressing the NUM LOCK.

@Pam3000, why don't you create a FYI thread about the issue and resolution instead of replying to a 5yr old thread
