Check BIOS and see if there is a setting for default numlock state (on or off). &nbsp;Not all BIOS have this setting... most do, but on older systems they may not.<br />
<br />
Otherwise you can use the line:<br />
<br />
NUMLOCK=ON<br />
<br />
placed in the config.sys file.<br />
<br />
If that doesn't work try adding the following lines to config.sys<br />
<br />
[MENU]<br />
<br />
[COMMON]<br />
NUMLOCK=ON<br />
<br />
(According the the Win95 Resource kit (you may have a copy of this on the CD in a help file format), the NUMLOCK line must reside in a menu block of config.sys).<br />
