I just bought a new Toshiba Satellite laptop with windows 8 and the side number pad doesn't work, with or without the Num lock key on. Does anyone know why?
Thanks

I tired the advice to no avail.
This worked: Control Panel Home Screen; Ease of Access; Change how Keyboard Works;
Unclick: turn on Toggle Keys by holding down NumLock for 5 secs.
