num lock keyboard

helo all

I have a problem with XP and the num lock keyboard, the script change the registry key :

if RegRead ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\keyboard", "InitialKeyboardIndicators") <> "2" Then RegWrite ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\keyboard","InitialKeyboardIndicators", "REG_SZ", "2")

it is a simple script, it run and write the right value in the registry, but num lock still state ...

when I change the value manualy, it works

Do you why ?

Thanks

That reg key indicates numlock state after logon. You wont see a change until you log off then back on. If the value is 2, numlock should be on after you log in.

It is the pb, the script put the reg value to 2, I log off and log on, then the num lock state after logon.

i do not understand why ?

I've encountered the same problem - Even with the reg change, my NumLock is off after every reboot. To resolve this, I've added a script with the following content and set it to run on startup:

Global Const $VK_NUMLOCK = 0x90
$NumState = DllCall("user32.dll", "long", "GetKeyState", "long", $VK_NUMLOCK)

If $NumState[0] <> 1 Then
    Send("{NUMLOCK}")
EndIf

I'd give credit to the code to whomever had posted the status of the NumLock key, but I can't remember which post I got it from.

Edit: credit to gafrost in this post for the NumLock status checks.
