Per J. P. Gilliver (John):

1. Is it a USB or PS/2 keyboard? (I'd say try it on another computer,
but since you've swapped "out" [how is that different from just >>"swapped"?] another keyboard, that is likely to be irrelevant.)

USB and wireless.

2. When you say it "doesn't work", what happens - nothing, or it just >>behaves as if Num Lock is off, i. e. it functions like the arrow keys
and sixpack.

With NumLock off, it behaves as expected: "3"==>PgDn, "9"==>PgUp,
"/", "*", "-" work... and so-forth.

But with NumLock on, nothing seems to happen.

3. When you say '"Num Lock On" dialog pops', that sounds like you mean >>something on screen: does this keyboard not have an actual Num Lock
light (is it a wireless keyboard)?

No, no NumLock light. I'm guessing that the dialog is thrown by
Microsoft's "MicroSoft Keyboard" applet or some related driver.

the "Use Shortcut" box. Click OK all the way out. See if that corrects
the problem.

If that doesn't fix it, have you used a keyboard remapping utility, or manually modified the Registry to remap any keys? You may have disabled
the NumLock key that way. Open Regedit and navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout
If you have a "Scancode Map" value with associated binary data, you have
done some sort of keyboard remapping.

Export (backup to a .reg file) the Keyboard Layout key, then delete it. Reboot.
See if that fixes the Numlock key issue. If not, you can always import
the saved .reg file.

This really helped me, problem fixed. I had mouse keys turned on. Thank you very much, I had been looking for the solution for a while.
