Num Lock always off

Just noticed that my Num Lock is always off when I start Vista.

Keyboard works fine, but num lock has to be turned on.

Ideas?

There is a "numlock on" .vbs script that an MVP ( I believe) wrote for Win
XP to have the numlock on when XP booted. I wonder if it will work on Vista
or if anyone has a new one?

You could try these 2 lines of .vbs code as a startup script

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Sendkeys "{NUMLOCK}"
 
Thanks all for the feedback.

The problem seems to have gone (Murphy's Law Eh?!)

Checked my BIOS - and numlock is "on"

Odd.

Thanks anyway.

Check your startup items using msconfig and see if there is something there
doing it.

Steve,

Found the problem.

A piece of software I'm running turns off numlock when enter is pressed...
I've contacted the company... just a bug I guess.

Jeff: I have the same problem. what software was it that was turning off
numlock after the bios turned it on at startup?
