The numpads are not sending the correct scan codes when the numlock
is off. There isn't anything we can do about this. Any application
that wants to use these keys will fail with these numpads.

Seems you have run into a well-known bug in Window-Eyes. Don't ask
me why, but out of some reason, Window-Eyes does not recognize all
kinds of USB numpads. Strange, since the system does, or you would
not have been able to use the numpad in other applications. But
again, Window-Eyes is PRETTY fuzzy about that kind of stuff. Really
something GW should have addressed, as it has been a bug of WE for years.
Best suggestion is, if possible, return your numpad, get a refund;
and try another one. If possible, bring your computer (if you have a
laptop) with you to the local computer store, and test the unit
right there, before you buy anything.
And GW, ain't it time, to have Window-Eyes accept input devices that
all the flavors of Windows actually do accept, even without
installing anything but native drivers in Windows itself? Why all
this fuzzy hazzle about the numpads?

Subject: mouse keys in we 7.5.1
hi everyone. I have a windows 7 laptop and we 7.5.1. My laptop
didn't have a numpad on it so I had to order one. I hooked it up
but can't seem to use any of the mouse functioning keys. I tried
to follow along with the thunderbird 2 podcast where the columns
are set up in thunderbird but as I"m using the numpad none of the
mouse keystrokes are not working. Are their any settings I need to
enable? I know it's not the numpad as it does work in other applications.
