Connection num lock problem

Here's my problem:

I am running Windows XP on triple boot with Ubuntu and Backtrack. Caps lock Num Windows turns on whenever I start. Lock num on my computer is physically damaged (even if this is not the reason why turn on num lock), which means that I can not connect.

I use Ubuntu right now. Since Ubuntu has the ability to open and modify Windows .exe, I open regedt32.exe and modified HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Keyboard "InitialKeyboardIndicators" = "1".
I also modified HKEY_USERS, yet my registry did not have a "Control Panel" button, so I created myself: HKEY_USERS\. Default\Control Panel\Keyboard "InitialKeyboardIndicators" = "1".

I also tried another method that was to create a file called "numlock.vbs" and write the following:

Set WshShell = CreateObject ("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.SendKeys "{NUMLOCK}".

And paste the file in All Users\Menu Démarrer\Programmes\Démarrage. Nothing has worked so far.

In accordance with the following article, the values only legal "InitialKeyboardIndicators" is 0 (off) or 2 (market).

  • Satellite P300 - strange problem with num lock keys

    I had a problem with my keyboard lock num. I have a P300D - 131

    Hello

    These issues in the past have been resolved with BIOS update. I therefore recommend as a first step of the BIOS update.
    Check the current version on your laptop and the most recent proposed on the Toshiba download page.

    To be honest I don't understand why you waited so long on this subject. Laptop warranty valid and the nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer can help you about this.

  • White screen on Boot and CAPS lock and NUM lock LED blinking on HP Pavilion dv - 6 portable 1210sa

    Hello

    I'm on HP Pavilion dv6 - 1210sa laptop with Windows vista Home Premium (service Pack2). It's the operating system, which is that the laptop came with when I bought in 2010 and later service pack 2 was installed using windows update. I can confirm that my laptop is up-to-date with updates of windows and hp installed periodically. My problem is the following:

    Everytime I turn on my laptop, I can hear the noise from the cooling fan and the led power and feather touch volume buttons and a wi - fi light up. However, the screen remains blank and the CAPS lock and NUM lock Dungeon LED flashing with three second gap between two flashes. They Flash together and blink only once in a single cycle. It keeps flashing even after leaving it for 10 minutes. I have to perform the hard reset several times before I can get it started. This problem started a few months ago with the frequency of the problem more and more. It has now reached a point where I encounter this problem on every start and even after the awakening of the laptop computer from standby or hibernation.

    I know that the flashing of the LEDs is typical diagnoses, but I was unable to understand the real problem. I know the screen works because I tested using an external monitor to work. It should not be the battery (even if it's crap to maintain charge) I tried to restart the laptop with just AC adapter connected (and battery removed) after having done a hard reset and still, the situation did not improve.

    Could someone please tell me what is the problem and what are my options? Think you that formatting my c: / and re - install the OS will solve the problem?

    Thank you.

    As long as you keep your files backed up on the outside, it is to you how you want to proceed. First question, however, is you are in warranty or not? If you are in warranty, Yes, call telephone support and will take care to have it sent repair.

    If you are no longer in warranty, however, that the repair can be expensive. You could certainly call for an exact quote, but according to the availability of the room, it might be around $200 and for an out of warranty repair. Money would probably be much more effective if they are presented to a new computer.

    HP Total Care 1-800-474-6836

    BUT, if you're still able to get the it to power (after trying it several times) and you're OK with the disadvantage, it would be nice to hold off on buying a new computer until it failed completely. I hate this word like that but I want to be realistic with you. I'm sorry that you are having this problem. As I said though, your files are the priority. Keep all your documents and photos and other precious files saved on an external hard drive or flash drive. Let me know if you have any other questions

    Have you noticed the same problem on a preinstalled OS from Toshiba?

  • HP g7-1320dx - on the numeric keypad does not work and the Num Lock will beep when you press

    Today, I noticed that my keypad does not work. The keys / *-+ and 'Enter' works, but the actual number will not.

    When I press NUM LOCK, it only beeps and turns the light active or not. And the keys / *-+ and 'Enter' won't work, any more than the actual digital keys.

    The regular keyboard numbers and keys all work, it is a simple matter of numeric keypad.

    Any ideas?

    I hope it helps someone else in the future!

  • Num-Lock is not on

    I had an old PC running Windows XP Professional, which was slow and doesn't work as well as it used to. One of my friends suggested I reinstall Windows on the PC and see if that accelerates it. So I got out the old disc that came with the computer and reinstalled XP inside. (Yes, I installed it correctly). After a few days of use, I noticed that there was a slight glitch. Num-lock was not on at startup! Usually, when I have on my PC, num-lock is enabled by default, but now, I have to manually on it whenever I start!

    Can someone tell me how to set num-lock to be on that by default?

    This article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base has the answer: How to set the State of Numlock on connection in Windows XP .

  • Caps lock and num lock keys lights don't light up

    Hello

    Thank you

    Hello Marco818,

    Thank you for your message.  Microsoft was right to put you in touch with the manufacturer of your.  The keyboard will fall under the material, so only they can fix or diagnose what the problem.  It could be something as simple as a bad supply or burnt cable bulb.  Anyway, that falls under HP support.

    See you soon

  • Hello, please help me. I use a power keyboard for my laptop. I see in the new keyboard is equipped with a num lock key is turned on. I can't use on it please help me disable it. I do not use a NumLock on. Thank you

    Hello, please help me. I use a power keyboard for my laptop. I see in the new keyboard is equipped with a num lock key is turned on. I can't use on it please help me disable it. I do not use a NumLock on. Thank you

    You say that when you press the NUM LOCK key, the Numlock State does not change (if enabled to disabled and vice versa)?  Have you tried to unplug the keyboard and by ensuring that the keyboard of the laptop does not have enabled Numlock?  If so, turn it off on the laptop keyboard and reinsert the another keyboard and see if the problem is resolved.

    If you do not need the Numlock key, it can be disabled at startup with the following procedure:http://www.technipages.com/enabledisable-numlock-at-login-or-startup.html. Once this is done, I don't think he's going to turn on or off and that they the keyboard will start in the off position.  You will not be able to use the key yourself or another, but maybe the problem she is on (which is worse than it to be impossible to be turned on) will be resolved and I hope it will be enough for you.

    If the key does not work and you want to be able to use it, the keyboard may be defective.  Try the keyboard on another computer and see if you have the same problem.  If so, the keyboard is defective and must be replaced.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • HP Pavilion dv6 - Num Lock

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion dv63090si running Windows 7 x 64. I use a number of diacritical signs and diphthongs and usually use the ASCII or ANSI of these characters values. I do not have an obvious Num Lock key on this keyboard, and are not of letter keys designated as keys to use with the fn key (which I have used in previous laptops).  How the hell can I get these characters in text documents?  There is a lock (requires a password or your finger scan to continue) key but it doesn't seem to be a Scroll Lock / Num Lock key is.

    Hi again,

    Thank you for the information on your laptop. I just wanted to be sure that you did not have this key on the keyboard.

    There is another solution to your problem. You can remap any of the keys on ' num lk ' key.

    I recommend SharpKeys 3.0, because it is free and very easy to use software.

    How you will be able to come back to this key used to do?

    You need only to remove the entry from the list in the main window of SharpKeys and restart the machine.
