    LOL...It's a BIOS setting. Boot the computer and watch for text saying: "Press _______ for Setup". If you can press the button that fast do it, but you may have to reboot and try again.

    Once in the BIOS look for the Num-Lock setting and enable it. ...and next time maybe fill in the body of the thread with details. :)

    It's not a BIOS setting. I looked EVERYWHERE in the BIOS.

    And I filled the body with details, but I think I got some kind of posting glitch.

    Well, I do know that you can slipstream this feature into a Windows disc with nLite. I did it by accident on my laptop last year. Check out your Windows advanced settings, or download TweakXP (or Vista) to look for the Num-Lock setting.
