I'm using a HP desktop pc and recently I can't use the numeric keypad on my keyboard. I had a search and couldn't come up with anything. Numlock has been pressed and it makes no difference, it seems to be acting like a cursor (scrolling around the screen).

It maybe mouse keys either.

Shortcut is left ALT + left SHIFT + NUM LOCK keys.
