Number lock key on keyboard/XP

[signstop]

Just installed XP on the computer.  When I boot up the numbers lock key does not stay locked.  I have to push it, to turn it on.
It worked fine when I was using Windows ME.   I checked my bios & it shows that number lock key should be turned on.
Any help would be appreciated.

The status of the NUM LOCK key is specific for each user, and by default, it is disabled. If you want to enable the NUM LOCK key for use before a user presses CTRL+ALT+DEL to log on, you must use Registry Editor to change the default behavior. To enable NUM LOCK before a user logs on, use Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) to locate the following registry key:
HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\Keyboard

Change the value of the InitialKeyboardIndicators value in this key from 0 to 2.

I tried the above solution on my computer as was having the same problem after reloading my XP software. It worked fine.

Thanks a lot.
