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 .

Satellite P500 (PSPE8A-01R002) - number pad and num lock does not
Number pad and num lock on my P500 PSPE8A-01R002 does not work after the upgrade to Windows 7.
Any help will be appreciated.
Hi AndrewF,
Have you noticed the same problem on a preinstalled OS from Toshiba?
As far as I know Satellite P500 are always delivered with Windows 7 OS provided with your P500?Anyway, in your case I would try updating the BIOS. You can get the latest version on the Toshiba site.

Num Lock not enabled when starting Windows 8
Hello world
After turning on my system after loading Windows 8, the Num Lock does not automatically start as it is defined in my BIOS. I followed the suggestion given in the forums and changed registry entries for the InitialKeyboardIndicators key in the registry as having a value of 2. It still does not work.
What I've noticed is that if I have sign in Windows 8, then arrested after disconnection, the num lock light will be after restarting my system. However, if I go into the settings and off directly without signing out, NUMLOCK is turned off when I restart my PC.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you.

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?
So I thought that my own problem.
"I went to the "Ease of access" >"mouse settings"> "paved digital use to move the mouse on the screen" and it has disabled."
I hope it helps someone else in the future!

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!

Satellite C660-11W - Num pad does not work
Hello!
I have a Toshiba Satellite C660-11W, which I bought 10 months ago. Since October, the num of my laptop keypad does not work, but when I press the "Num Lock" button, it makes a noise as I had turned on the StickyKeys.
How can I solve this problem?
Hello
Looks a bit bad operation of the keyboard.
I think that the service technician if you want to initialize the digital keypad function by Test & Diagnostic software and will replace the keyboard to fail the test. -
When I commit to NUM LOCK keys on the right the number keys on the main keyboard also become as well as on the numeric keypad on the right.
I tried pressing Fn and NUM LOCK at the same time as on a not extended keyboard, but that makes no difference.I also tried different input languages and keyboard styles.
I can't test with an external keyboard, because I do not have. I downgraded from vista to XP.
I don't know if this makes a difference because I did not notice this after the downgrade.Any ideas?
Hello
Sorry, but I think I put t understand your question
Made, it is whether the digital LOCKING is enabled (FN + F11) and buttons; U, I, O, J, K, L and M becomes to numbers:
you 4
I have 5
O to 6
J 1
K to 2
L 3
M 0If you press FN + F11 again then the buttons must be on back letters...

Satellite L50t-A-145 - Num Lock ON by default on Boot Up
Hello
I was wondering if anyone here has been able to set a L50t-A-145 running Win 8.1 to start with NumLock on the default start state.
I tried looking at the BIOS settings, where I always put before on other computers, but could not find the option here.
Thank you very much
Iain
To be honest I don t understand what you try to do
The Num Lock isn't associated with all the BIOS settings.
The Num Lock key is on the right in 10-digit keypad and press on this button will allow to disable NumLock -

Want to m6 - on keyboard num lock button
M6 - envy I can't tell when the num lock key is on when I use the keyboard on the right side. This creates a problem when you type the number of password and I need to stop and remember to use the keys on the top. How will I know if it's on or not? Nothing (no lights on the cover lock) lights up. Nothing in the taskbar or the other.
Thank you
Hello Cageycat,
You have a problem don't know not if your key for the nun is activated.
Go to HP.com and update the keyboard driver when it exists and also in the BIOS.
Here is a link to updates. You will need your product number.
You can also go to ease of access and change the settings of toggle keys.
- Go to start of easy access type and press on enter
- Scroll and click on create the keyboard easier to use
- Check the turn ToggleKeys on.
This will give you a sound when the keys are on.
I would like to know how everything goes.

You shouldn't need to disable the power management software, but simply adjust to where it is not longer Hibernate. Take a look at this document, which should help.
Please let me know if it works.

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).
