Re: Strange keyboard problem
Hi Kevin, Look at the - System Preferences Accessibility, then click 'Mouse Trackpad'. Make sure Mouse Keys is OFF. If Mouse a keys is ON, pressing keys in the numeric keypad moves the pointer instead of entering a number.

Re: Strange keyboard problem
Ronni, I followed your instructions, but the mouse key was off and I changed nothing. Just now tried the numerical keypad and it now works Thanks for your input, but I really don’t know how it happened as I had made no changes to preferences. Computers will rule the world; fortunately after I am gone. Regards, Kevin On 4 May 2015, at 4:25 pm, Ronda Brown ro...@mac.com wrote: Sorry Kevin I don't understand - what was the problem then?

Re: Strange keyboard problem
Heheheh... ;-)) Sometimes the Num Lock key gets changed accidentally. Good it's sorted itself out then.
