When I upgraded with the new 10.3 Panther version on my G4.. I noticed that my numberlock/clear button doesnt light up or work at all.
I also had recieved a crappy calculator which was an " upgrade " but to me is not. The previous one in the 10.2 Jaquar version was better in my opinion.
However the function keys are all screwed up such as +-/* etc...and doesnt do what I need it to do. So I downloaded a different calculator version called Calculator+ version 1.0.1 (v1.0.1) Tiran's Calculator+ for OS X.
Are there any other issues I should be aware about and what can I do to go about elminating the problems ? Thanks.
 
You should use Software Update to get to the latest versions of everything included in the operating system, if you haven't already.

I tried the calculator and don't have a problem with it. It works quite well.

The num lock/clear key doesn't light up but that was actually a fix for me as it was annoying since there is no num lock function in Mac OS X.
 
Well in the 10.2 Jaquar version my number lock / clear button did light up. Now it doesnt. And yes I always keep the software update running at all times. My problem is that when im using the calculator.. the clear button doesnt clear the calculator and instead I have to maunally use the mouse to clear it.

Check your universal access settings. Specifically mouse keys. Sometimes if you hit the option key 5 times it will turn it on. That will disable your keypad.
