that’s likely to be the problem

May 15, 2011on netbooks usually theres a button (one of the f1-f12 keys) where ‘numlk’ is also written. this toggles numlock on or off when pressed with function key(‘fn’-usually near ctrl key).
I am not sure but maybe you also have light indicators telling you whether num lock is on or off (similar to caps lock indicator)
as @jjfox82:disqus said, its probably your problem
hope this helps

May 15, 2011Hello, there was a question similar to this not long ago. The only difference is the brand name of the laptop. The issue was resolved by uninstalling one of the security software provided by comcast. Is comcast your ISP? Here is the link:
