my number keypad is working like arrows, etc. instead of numbers??

[Guest]

Today my keypad on my keyboard started working as arrows and pagedown/up
instead of doing numbers like it is supposed to. Is there a way to switch it
back to number mode? I've tried everything I know to do but haven't come up
with anything...thanks!

Push the "Numlock" key.

There is no "supposed to." It can work either way, depending on which
you prefer.

Is there a way to switch it
back to number mode?

Sure. Press the Numlock Key. That's its function, to toggle between
the two different uses of the keypad.

If pressing the NumLock key didn't fix it, replace the keyboard.
