I have the Logitech MX5000 Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse combo. Running SMAC/X on Windows 7x64, I cannot get the numpad to work for moving units. This is very annoying. I've tried bringing up the On Screen Keyboard and disabling and reenabling numlock but with no luck. Any ideas?

Searching through past posts, this problem has been reported several times over the years (though not in Windows 7). Most users have solved the problem by simply toggling the numlock key, but you've already tried that. Make sure that you're fully patched, just in case that's the problem. One user fixed the problem by reinstalling the game. That would be something to try, but first you might want to take either of the following less drastic steps:
* Load or start a game and go to Menu --> Game --> Preferences. Select Restore defaults. If that doesn't help, then
* Delete (or rename) your Alpha Centauri.ini and start a new game. You might have to recreate any customizations to the ini file.
These suggestions are based on the theory that there's something wrong with the ini file (even though there's nothing in the file that directly refers to the numlock pad). Reinstalling would create a new ini file, but perhaps something simpler would work.

If uninstalling/reinstalling doesn't help, then I have no other ideas. I would be interested to hear if any other Windows 7 users have the same problem. I think that Alinestra Covelia runs Windows 7, but I'm not sure whether she reads or posts here on Apolyton anymore.
