[QUOTE="Lesotho, post: 1248133, member: 203811"] [b]USB Overdrive - Keyboard tab was the culprit[/b] I'd read of one solution being that [B]Universal Access[/B] was the culprit: - Check that in System Prefences > Universal Access > Sticky Keys --- is turned off - Check that in System Prefences > Universal Access > Mouse --- is turned off, and that the Option key 5 times check box is UNticked - Check that in System Prefences > Universal Access > "Show Universal Access Status in the Menu Bar" is UNticked. Also on further playing with the system I dug through Alessandro Levi Montalcini's [B]"USB Overdrive" v3.01[/B] (it's the same in the old Tiger version v1.48), was the [I]main culprit[/I] for disabling the keypad and making it not work under: - Settings > Any Keyboard, Any Application -- UNtick the Enabled checkbox That turns everything back on on the Keypad [I]bar the Eject button[/I]... which I've gone past anyway with the far superior Dock app called[B] "DiskEject" [/B]which is more powerful (even ejects "stuck" DVDs/CDs etc. in all your attached drives). You can get it from MacUpdate.com and it's FREE. [/QUOTE]
