I've got a compaq EVO w/windows 2000. I want the numbers
lock key to activate on boot up and have set it this way
in the Bios, but the key still does not activate
automatically.I checked the registry as advised by the
Microsoft Knowledge Base and I have the proper setting for
the initial keyboard indicators, "2." Any ideas on how to
correct the problem?
 
For the current user; set numlock to on, then log off. Windows 2000 will
save your setting.

Windows NT/ 2000 ignores the bios on this issue. Set the Reg_Sz string value
of
"InitialKeyboardIndicators"="2"
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard
will set the numlock to "On" when no one is logged on. May need to restart
for effect.
