Why won't my num lock unlock?

My numeric keypad on the right side of the keyboard does not work little matter how I press the lock NUM. Windows 7 button. Also, why do I have to enter a password every time I start the computer? It's just me!

I can't help on the num lock problem.  In addition, it can help someone else answer the question if you let them know if it's a computer brand new and it never worked, an old computer where he used to work, if you just upgraded to Windows 7 on an old computer, etc..

On the question of password, you don't need to have one if you feel safe without him, it's your choice.  You can also configure your computer to start directly in your user account. Here's a guide: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows7/ht/remove-windows-7-password.htm

Also, here is a previous answer to a similar question that may be useful: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/how-do-you-remove-start-up-password-requirement/ca7d9883-a172-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5

  • Satellite P300 - strange problem with num lock keys

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

    By pressing '4' and '8' at the same time, it shows on the screen '4 '.

    By pressing "0" and "6" at the time, tamed, it shows on the screen "0 0".

    This also happens if I touch the very fast numbers. That's why you can't count on the num lock keys! I have this problem since I bought the laptop in July 2008. Now, I found this forum and I hope that really that someone can help me solve this issue!

    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.

  • 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!

  • 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).

  • Num Lock turns off

    When I restart Windows 8 the Num Lock key turns off.  Why? How can I stop this happening?

    I found that if I reboot, NumLock remains sometimes, other times it doesn't. If I stop completely and then restart, it never stays.

    However, I have found a fix (sort of) (for a computer that has the problem)
    I created the office and shortcuts start screen on all my computers to close and restart their with 1 click in the instructions on: http://blog.laptopmag.com/how-to-shutdown-windows-8-in-just-one-click and this seems to have finally solved the problem. The NumLock key is always present when I shut down and restart this computer.
    Now I can deal with other problems that this computer is having since I've upgraded to Windows 8 Pro on this subject.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand your message that you were not able to update your iPhone to iOS 10 5s. I know how exciting it is when a new version of the iPhone software will be released. If you tried to update your iPhone via Wi - Fi under settings > general > Software Update and cannot update your iPhone, I recommend that you use iTunes on a computer. Make sure that your computer software and iTunes are updated to the latest versions. The following steps will help you to upgrade your software to the iPhone via iTunes on your computer:

    Update the software on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch iOS

    Update your device via iTunes

    If you are unable to update wireless on your iOS device, you can manually update using iTunes on a computer on which you trust. If your computer uses Personal Hotspot on the iOS device that you update, connect your computer to another Wi - Fi or Ethernet network before update you.

    1. Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer.
    2. Connect your device to your computer.
    3. Open iTunes, Select your device.

  • Re: Satellite P300-276: on the right side of the keyboard keys become numbers when NUM LOCK

    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?

  • Windows 10 - FN button and touchpad lock/unlock button problem Satellite L675-11J

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba Satellite L675-11J and 10, lock/unlock FN key touchpad button do not work after upgrading to windows.
    Help, please!
    Best regards

    Fn keys require special Toshiba software that controls this feature for laptop.

    But Windows 10 drivers are not published for this series of Satellite L675 because is not win 10 supported.

    From my point of few, this means you can use Notepad as part of Win 10 but without the keys FN function.

  • num lock 17 t-J100

    I have a new TouchSmart from HP ENVY 17 t-J100.

    I don't see a NumLock on or seeing off.

    Prior computer keyboards have had such light.

    Is there one, or are we to see if the num lock feature is enabled or disabled by trial and error?

    goodhayman,

    Yes, it seems that the newer models have fallen by using light Verr Num and it appears at this time that no measures were taken to restore the Num Lock light.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

    Take care and have a great day!

  • 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

    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.
