Try remapping your keys at System > Preferences > Keyboard.

This also happened to me. I would double check the following before re-mapping:

System > Preferences > Keyboard
Under the "Mouse Keys" tab uncheck "Allow to control the pointer using the keyboard"

Then check to see if you number pad works.

Also, please mark as solved if either one of these answers fixes the problem.
