Num Lock

by var1016 . Updated 17 years, 11 months ago

It’s a small thing in the great scheme of things, but I am annoyed that recently, Num Lock has to be activated rather than coming (and staying) on automatically on my home-built computer (Gigabyte M55plus 3G, AMD 5600+, 2GB ram, XP Pro).

I thought that this was set in the Bios, but not on this computer; the option isn’t there.

So I went into Help and found the bit of VBS script I am supposed to save in the start up menu. I did all this to no avail – of course the Help menu does say “applies to Windows 2000”. Why this appears on my computer which is running XP Pro I don’t know!

As I said, it’s a small thing, but when first built a few weeks ago the computer engaged Num Lock; now it doesn’t!

Thanks in advance as always,

Paul
