Unable to use Numbers on the extended keyboard numbers pad

The numbers on the side pad of both my Apple wired keyboard and Logitech S 530 no longer works, may be relatedd to Mavericks upgrade?

Thanks

Which version of OS X are you using?


• If Snow Leopard (10.6.x) or earlier, go to System Preferences > Universal Access


• If Lion (10.7.x) or later. go to System preferences > Accessibility


In the Mouse section in the preceding, look for the item Mouse Keys - if that function is "on", turn it off.

I have a similar problem in that, after having used the number pad successfully for several years, it suddenly has started to function as a scroll up and down and I have been having to resort to using the numbers above my letter keys. This is slowing me down, especially as I am currently working on spreadsheets for tax returns.


I have had a situation previously where letters were coming up instead of numbers, but fixed that with a reboot. This is new and is not responding to anything that I have tried so far.


Any advice? I am using OS X v 10.9.5
