jpeshek Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Many thanks to all who contribute to MSFN - I am learning more than I ever expected. I am experimenting with unattended installations of WindowsXP SP2, and for some reason, the NUMLOCK key is never activated when the system boots up for the first time. If I don't manually activate it, then reboot, it never self-activates. Its not a deal breaker, but I hoped that someone encountered the same thing and figured out why. My BIOS has always been set to turn it on automaticallyThxJeff Peshekjpeshek@carolina.rr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
