MORE INFORMATION
To work around this problem, enable the MouseKeys accessibility option. To modify the operating system to use a keystroke in place of a mouse action, follow these steps:
 * 1) From the Windows Start menu, point to Settings, and click Control Panel.
 * 2) In Control Panel, click Accessibility Options.
 * 3) In the Accessibility Options dialog box, on the Mouse tab, select the Use MouseKeys check box, and then click Settings.
 * 4) In the Settings for MouseKeys dialog box, select the Use Shortcut check box. Under Use MouseKey when NumLock is, click On. Select the Show MouseKey status on Screen check box, and then click OK.
 * 5) Click Apply to close the Accessibility Options dialog box.

To turn the MouseKeys option on or off, you can use the following default shortcut key:

left ALT+left SHIFT+NUM LOCK

NOTE You must place the mouse pointer over an object, such as a command button, for these keystrokes to function. For example, if a command button has focus, and you do not place the mouse pointer over the command button, the keystrokes do not activate the button. In addition, you must use the keys on the numeric keypad for all MouseKey functions. If use the INSERT, DELETE, or arrow keys, you get inconsistent results.

This accessibility feature includes the following MouseKey options:   Begin Drag.................. Ins Double-Click................ +  Drop After Drag............. Del Large Movement.............. CTRL+any keypad number key except 5 Movement.................... Any keypad number except 5 Select Both Mouse Buttons... *  Select Left Mouse Button.... /   Select Right Mouse Button... -  Single Click................ 5  Single Pixel Moves..........
