SYMPTOMS
After you install the Microsoft IntelliPoint version 1.1 software, you may
be unable to toggle the status of the NUMLOCK key.
RESOLUTIONWARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may
require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve
problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own
risk.
To work around this problem, add a key named "Keyboard" to the following
registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Microsoft Input Devices
Add a string value named "NumLock" to the key, and set the string value to
"ON" (or to "OFF," if you want the NUMLOCK key to be off by default).
For information about how to edit the registry, view the Changing Keys And
Values online Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe). Note that you
should make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and User.dat)
before you edit the registry.
For information about backing up the registry, please see the following
