Okay, I think I have my first 10.7.x problem. The number keys on the keypad on my aluminum extended keyboard do not work. All the keys around the numbers seem to work fine. The keys work fine on 10.6.x.

I have hit the "clear" key and it has no effect. I have made sure that the "U.S. Extended" keyboard is selected in Keyboard Preferences. I even selected the plain old "U.S." keyboard and had the same results.

I have logged in and out of my account and even rebooted. I have even reset PRAM.

Suggestions?

Scott

I'm assuming it's the same keyboard I'm using ($50 aluminum apple wired keyboard) and my numpad works fine, have you tried re-running the keyboard detection?
 
It ended up being one of these plist files:

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.KeyboardViewer.plist

or

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.universalaccess.plist

I deleted both, logged out and back in and the problem was gone. I suspect the first plist file was the culprit. It is interesting to note that the first plist file has yet to be recreated.

Worked for me

Only had the UniversalAccess plist file to delete, logged out and back in and "voila" - Thanks!!

:D
