The number pad on my brand new Windows 8 laptop is not working?!

Anonymous

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

Joao

Click on Start --> Control Panel --> Ease of Access --> Ease of Access Center -->

Click on "Change how your keyboard works" --> Under Control the mouse with the

keyboard, uncheck the check box "Turn ON Mouse Keys" --> Click on OK.

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.

I am having the same problem here on my laptop but the ease of access thing did not work at all... here is my situation:

Since I installed windows 8.1 my numlock key, /,7,8,4,5,1,2 keys stopped working, the buttons work with the on screen keyboard but on the actual keyboard nothing happens as if they don't even exist. This impacted me kind of hard... the habit of using my numpad won't go away and I don't want to. Please help us out!

Regards Alex
