keyboard number pad mouse goes on strike.

I have a Power Mac G4 (2.1) 1 GHz with 1.75 GB memory running OS
10.3.9. The problem I'm having is that when I try to use the number
pad on the right of the key board and then the mouse. It will not let
me use the mouse after I key in some numbers on the keypad. I can move
the cursor over an item, but when I try to execute that function it
will not let me. I can tab to move over to the next function through
the keyboard but I cant use the mouse. It's like the program is froze.
I can reboot the computer and start all over. Has anyone had this
problem or is there a fix for this?

Thanks,

TT

You may have pressed Option five times, thus turning on Mouse Keys.
You can disable that in the "Mouse" tab of "Universal Access" system
preference.
