Why does my keyboard turn off on boot-up

Why does my keyboard turn off on boot-up

(OP)
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?

RE: Why does my keyboard turn off on boot-up

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.

RE: Why does my keyboard turn off on boot-up

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
behavior.
 
 
To enable NUM LOCK before a user logs on, use the steps below.
 
1. Run Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
 
2. Navigate to HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\Keyboard.
 
3. Change the value for InitialKeyboardIndicators from 0 to 2.
