working, so i went and bought a new one and would you
beleive it the same thing is going on with the new one.

number lock is on. Anyone have any suggestions?

Switching Num Lock On
The Num Lock status on startup can be set in the systems BIOS. Consult your system or
motherboard manual for details about this.

Windows XP will however switch off the Num Lock key when it boots. In some cases it's
enough to make sure that the Num Lock key is enabled when you shut down; Windows will
remember the status of Num Lock, and enable it on the next boot. In other cases this may
not work, and Windows will always default to switching Num Lock off when booting. To fix
this:

1.. Start the Registry Editor
2.. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Control Panel \ Keyboard \
3.. Double-click the value InitialKeyboardIndicators, and enter 2 as it's Value data
4.. Close the registry editor
5.. Log off, or restart Windows for the changes to take effect
