Number Lock in the ON position? (All my other PC's have
just done it automatically)

To have numbers lock on at bootup:
Start---run---regedit--OK
HKEY_USERS\default\controlpanel\keyboard
Set keyboard indicator to 2.

Hi Gail,

Go to: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY CURRENT USER\Control Panel\Keyboard\
InitialKeyboardIndicators

0 = numberlock off
2 = numberlock on

If you want the numlock on at the welcome screen you also need to change:

HKEY USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard\
InitialKeyboardIndicators same number values as above.

Or...

Set Numlock State On or Off at Startup (Line 4)
