Hello,
Some time during today my num pad stopped typing numbers and instead started moving the mouse. It works just like Mouse Keys, but I have made sure Mouse Keys is turned off in the options.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and how I can turn it off?
Thanks.
Hello callebo
Have you restarted after turning on or off Mouse Keys?
Please also fill in your My Computer section with as much detail as you can about your system.
You have pressed NUM LOCK key, possibly accidentally. The key is on top left corner of num pad, it toggles num pad ON / OFF. When off, number keys work as mouse keys.
Hi again,
Yes, I have restarted the computer. Once before fiddling with Mouse Keys options, and once just now after having tried turning every Mouse Key option on and off. Still the num pad moves the mouse (0 left clicks, . right clicks. Swedish qwerty keyboard).
I know of the num lock key. I have tried turning it off and on, also with differnet Mouse Keys settings. I seem to have tried every Mouse Keys options/num lock combination but it always seem to be on...
My colleague figured it out. My keyboard has a Mouse Keys Lock... I had to press Fn + num locks keys to unlock it again.Thanks for the help.
