Ok here is what I mean. It's not really stuck, but when I first push the power button on my laptop (xp) it brings me to the screen where The users are and where you are supposed to put your password in. Ok so when I put my password, it doesn't work even though its the right pass, and this is because Num LK is on. I have to push it in order to take it off and then proceed to put my password. My problem is , is that this happens every time. Shouldn't num lk not even be on when I start my computer? I was wondering if I would be able to start the computer and just enter my password like a normal computer, and not have to push num lk to turn it off?

Thanks in advance

Since we do not know what computer and bios you have, we can only guess.
Someplace in the bios is a setting for "num locks on". You will need to look at the nios screens.

So should I have the Num Locks set to on or off?

You'll want to select off if you do not want the number lock on when you boot up.

I went ahead and pressed f2 on system start up and got to the bios menu i believe. and i went and turned num lk to off but still no luck (yes i saved and exited). so im still not sure what to do because the problem persists.

Click Start, then Run, type regedit and click "OK"

In Registry Editor, in the left pane, expand (click +) HKEY_CURRENT_USER, then Control Panel, and click on Keyboard.

In the right pane, double click on InitialKeyboardIndicators. Change the Value Data to 0 and click "Ok".

Close Registry Editor and reboot.
