Winmagic numlock strangeness Dell Inspiron 700m
After installing winmagic on this dell laptop, the numlock would automatically turn on in the login screen of XP. Very frustrating for a user when they type in their password incorrectly several times and not realize that it was because of the numlock key being activated. Don’t know why winmagic does this with this Dell, but the quick solution is to do a search in the registry for “InitialKeyboardIndicators”, and change all occurances to “0″ (zero) . I’ve found several having strange values of 0×800000 . Anyways, after doing this, it seems to work properly again.
