Why does my keyboard turn off on boot-up

[1chuck]

After installing w2k professional when I boot up my key board num lock turns off. It is turned on in the bios where do I need to go to turn it back on in the software?

um, numlock button right on the keyboard always works,tho in Win2k control pannel, for system setting, one of the tabs if i remeber correctly defines bootup behavior. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@bellsouth.net>kb244@bellsouth.net</a><br><a href=

The status of the NUM LOCK key is specific for each user, and it is disabled by default. If you want the NUM LOCK key enabled for use before a user presses CTRL+ALT+DEL to log on, you must use Registry Editor to change the default<br>behavior.<br>&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>To enable NUM LOCK before a user logs on, use the steps below.<br>&nbsp;<br>1. Run Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).<br>&nbsp;<br>2. Navigate to HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\Keyboard.<br>&nbsp;<br>3. Change the value for InitialKeyboardIndicators from 0 to 2.<br>&nbsp;<br> <p>Ian Cowie<br><a href=mailto:ianco@email.com>ianco@email.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>How can I help you? P.S.
