More interesting Kelly.
Yesterday numlock started working on it's own. I had not tried to do
anything with it since my last post. After noticing the light on, I checked
the registry and the value for both keys (including the one that wouldn't
save) was 2.
So apparently 11 days after loading the system the BIOS and XP Pro came to
an agreement. I guess I should have just stayed out of it and let them
figure it out. (S)
