My systems' data is below.
My problem: My Keyboard's Numeric Pad quit working. I doubt the connection, but some time ago I installed IE 8. It seemed to give problems unknown with IE 7. It was on your program, I believe, that the advice was given to uninstall IE 8 and re-install IE 7, which I did. Unless I'm not remembering well, the number pad worked okay for both versions. Is there something to fix this within my system? Has the Keyboard gone bad? (All the other keyboard function seem n okay. Got a solution?

Is the NumLock on?

[edro]

Thanks, Triple6. Yes, Num Lock is on. I've clicked it on and off and on. The green light indicater of "On" goes on and off with switching, but the keys produce no response

A sure way to test is to try the keyboard on another computer.

Aside from a store we don't have access to another cooomputer. Any options or examples?

Since you have a Dell you may be able to use the Del Diagnostics, see here: http://support.dell.com/support/edoc...tml/2diags.htm

I have had a chat with Dell Support. The agent says there's a hardware problem in the keyboard, and that replacement is the solution. So, while I mull this over, maybe do some shopping, it seems that yours and my dialog are concluded ... unless you have any other ideas. So, if this is the finale, thank you for being online for me.
