I cannot enter numbers in my calculator using the keypad - only using the mouse - anyone know why?

I can't enter numbers into the calculator using the keypad - however I can use the calculator with the kwyboard numbers or the mouse using the nu,mbers on the calculator. In preferences, - keyboard - it says that the F6 key toggles the num lock system - on my computer the F6 key does nothing. I am running Snow Leopard, haven't downloaded Lion yet. Anyone help me with this?
