Changing 3D Perspective Views using the NumPad I'm trying to use the number pad shortcuts to control the views, Left, Right, Back, etc. It isn't working, though. It only works when I click on the view through the menu.
  

Instead, these little boxes are lighting up.


How can I make it so that my Number Pad keys will have the desired effect?
Try checking Emulate Numpad in the User Preferences(Ctrl-Alt-U).
