Number Lock
The Number Lock key will not stay on whenever I shut down & then boot up
again. It has always stayed on before, but I had some recent repairs done on my computer and now I have to push it on each time I go to use it. Can anyone tell me how to make it stay on even if I shut down & later boot back up? It's aggravating to have to reset it each time. |

You have to go into BIOS settings and find the setting for Numlock, On =
or Off. How you get into BIOS varies from machine to machine. Most often = the Delete key, but may be F1, F2 or F10. There should be a notice = telling you how, somewhere on the screen as soon as anything appears = after starting up. --=20 Gary S.

Usually that is turned on or off in the BIOS setup. Most CMOS settings include the
option to enable or disable boot-up NumLock. If you cannot find the setting in the BIOS setup, or if you prefer not to go there, you can add this line in the config.sys file instead: NumLock=ON To add a line to config.sys, click StartRun, type: msconfig and click OK. Click the Config.sys tab, then the New button, and add that line. Click OK and reboot. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.microsoft.com/communities...t/default.mspx "Elsie" wrote in message ...
