you have to operate with the numlock. Turning it on, when you need the numpad keys and off when you need the normal functions of the keys. The numpad on most lapt tops is simulated on following keys: M , . / = 0 , . + J K L ; = 1 2 3 - U I O P = 4 5 6 * 8 9 0 - = 8 9 / - An a3ternat5ve way 5s t6 4se the FN-key with the above key. Then you don't need to turn numlock on, but just press FN hold it and press the corresponding key.
