i have a notebook where the numlock keys share the letter keys. i have media
centre xp, and when i boot up, numlock is on by default. this means that i
cannot type passwords etc properly as it types numbers instead till i turn it
off. this is not a BIOS setting either.

any ways how to stop it coming on when on welcome screen?

thankyou

There's usually a setting in the BIOS. Press f8 while your PC is booting
and that should bring you into the BIOS. In there I'm afraid it varies from
system to system but you should find something there called default num lock
state. Chenge it to off then save settings and exit.

NOTE: Do Not Change Anything Else In The BIOS Unless You Know What Your
Doing.
