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. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@bellsouth.net>kb244@bellsouth.net</a><br><a href= </a><br>Experienced in , or have messed with : VC++, Borland C++ Builder, VB-Dos, VB1 thru VB6, Delphi 3 pro, Borland C++ 3(DOS), Borland C++ 4.5, HTML, ASP(somewhat), QBasic(hehe, yea it was 4.5 too, least i didnt start with COBOL)

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.
