I am using a PowerBook G4 with an external monitor and keyboard. However the keyboard is a WINDOWS one.



The NUM LOCK key does not work (won't even turn the NumLock light on). The numpad keys work but they are locked into the mouse control mode (i.e. numpad key 5 is mouse-click).



Can someone help



Thanks

Paul

PS the keyboard works fine on LINUX and WINDOWS machines

    press the option key five times and then try the numbers. If this doesn't work go into universal access and turn off mouse keys. Are you using Panther?
