Okay, I posted this at the XP site but this is really bad for my keyboard. Here it is,
Okay, I have this huge problem with my keyboard. My number lock key is "stuck". The light won't turn on when I press number lock, nothing happens at all actually! The number pad acts like arrows when I log on, (4:right, 6:left, etc). Like I said I can't change it! This is true with my Caps lock too! (just won't work) I need my number lock for a variety of reasons and I have had this problem for a COUPLE of months now, and I am on the virge of breaking! This is a fairly new keyboard, and I really don't want to get rid of it, it's pretty nice. I got it a year or two ago. Can anyone please help me, I have XP proffesional, and before I log on the light is on, after it, it turns off. I can't change it either way. Just for the record of who else wants to try this dilema, I pried off the keys, looks good, PRESSED the button that the key PRESSES, nothing. Just curious, could this have anything to do with the software for the keyboard software, or the DRIVERS, or maybe just the hardware isn't agreeing with each other. Open to any, and all suggestions. THANK you!
Please help!

Desperately Yours, The Boar...
-Ask if you have any questions. What kind of keyboard is it?How does it connect? USB or standard mouse port?

FlameMy keyboard connects to the port right next to the mouse port (USB, I think). My keyboard type is a standard 101/102-key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 keyboardUSB is flat, PS/2 is round and probably purple.

How about deleting all keyboard references in Device manager and rebooting? If no joy, then uninstall and reinstall your keyboard software. If still no joy, new keyboard.I have already done that but! Okay, I have a brilliant idea, can anyone give me the program you use to set the keys key 4:is 4 on the keyboard. The keys on the number pad work, just as different functions. Now the coding of the number pad and other keys are jumbled up (num lock:is insert, etc). Please help!
