Hi Joseph, I'll assume in this case that you either have a wireless keyboard or a standard keyboard without the numpad as you shouldn't experience these problems with the extended keyboard with the NumPad. Try these steps:
1. if you're lucky and the Option key toggle is checked, then simply press the Option key five times in quick succession and you'll hear some clicks and then Mouse Keys will turn off and life will be good. Otherwise: 1. Open System Preferences. If cmd-tab does not take you there, then press ctrl-f2 to take you to the menubar, then down arrow to System Preferences, route the mouse to your VO location by pressing fn+VO+cmd+f5, then press fn+i to click the mouse. VO may turn off then back on but that is not an issue. Press cmd-tab until System Preferences is the active window. 2. Press the tab key until VO announces that Universal Access is selected. 3. Route the mouse to VO by pressing fn+VO+cmd+f5 then press the letter "i" to click the mouse. 4. Use VO-right arrow to navigate to the Off button, route the mouse to VO by pressing fn+VO+cmd+f5 then press the letter "i" once again. This should fix it for you. While you're in that Preference pane, it would be good to make sure that the button "Press the Option key five times to toggle Mouse Keys On and Off" is checked so that if this happens again, you'll have an easy fix. HTH. Later...
