When running a dos window in Win98(all versions) the number pad "0" key works rarely if at all. Try it yourself open a dos window and hit it 10 or so times. If you "restart to MS-DOS" the problem disapears. We run a few crucial DOS based programs and since upgrading to 98 I am getting a buttload of calls. Is this a known issue or does anyone know a fix?

P.S. It can't be a hardware issue I am running three generations of Dells PI, PII, PIII. I even called a co-worker using an IBM, same problem.

Never run across this before, just tried it on four different 98 machines with no problems.

I finally found the problem it is a problem with the ZENworks remote mgt agent that comes with Client 3.3 you have to update the files on the server(released 12/5/2000)

See TID 2958107 & 10057366

For a while there I thought I was on my way to goinpostal!!!!!!
