I hope someone can help me out with this; I use a laptop and I like to play games a lot that are arrow key dependent. So after a while of using my laptop, I accidentally broke the Down Arrow key. So I decided to try and find out how to make the Numpad5 button work as the Numpad Down button while Numlock is on. I was trying to use AutoHotkey, but so far I've had no luck. Can anyone help me out with this?
So far the scripts I used that didn't work were Numpad5::NumpadDown or Numpad5::Down. Am I doing something wrong here?

As an alternative you can try using 2 as Down Arrow (with Numlock Off), I think it is inbuilt and shouldn't need AHK. Is there any particular reason to have it working with Numlock ON. – Ankit – 2012-11-20T09:27:20.963
Check whether it works outside the game. http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/FAQ.htm#games

I figured it out though. But the game doesn't seem to like the change so now it's a whole different problem. Thanks though.. – Edwin Aleman – 2012-11-21T06:45:24.970
@EdwinAleman Typically, numlock on means use the numbers while numlock off means use the arrows/home/pgup/end/pgdn keys. But that should not affect how AHK sees the keys. – Bob – 2012-11-21T08:44:48.643
