F Lock is On at Startup

I use the Zippy WK-9100 Turbo Office Keyboard with Windows XP. When I start my computer, the F Lock is on. I would like the F Lock to be off at startup.
I have looked at the options in the keyboard driver and don't find any that will keep the F Lock off at startup.
Do I need to tweak the registry? What do I do?

    I don't think there is a book with this keyboard. All the explanation is on the box itself.


    But I went to Start/Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager, I uninstalled the Keyboard Driver that was there and then re-booted the computer.


    Now, although it still says 'Standard 101/102-key or Microsoft Natural PS2 Keyboard', the F-Lock light has not come on again, even after three re-boots. I don't klnow, this may be just temporary. I don't know what will happen after I completely switch off the computer and start it again. But for now, the problem seems to have gone.

    Apparently not. As I suspected, when I switched off the computer for the night and started it this morning, there was the F-Lock light again. So it was indeed a temporary phase.


    Yes, I do need a permanent solution. Thanks.

    try going into control panel/system and see how the set up for the keyboard is set. The problem with mircosoft is that there are at least 3 diffierent places that you can or might need to go to set the keyboard and other keys (special keys,) did you get a book with your keyboard if you did look up the key set up and if should tell you how to set defaults.

When I hit any key, it throws in a bunch of asterisks

Could be either a short in the Keyboard or it is not USB adapter compatible, some mice are like this. Plug it into a computer with PS2 port and see if it still malfunctions, if it does then the keyboard has a short, if not, it is incompatible with a USB adapter. Keyboards send two codes whenever a key is pressed, one for the key itself and one to let the computer know it the Shift/Ctrl/Alt keys are being pressed.

NTLDR is missing is displayed when i turn on the computer

The "NTLDR is missing", error displays very shortly after the computer is first started; after the Power On Self Test (POST) is complete. Windows XP might only initially load when the NTLDR error message appears. Causes of this error message include corrupt and misconfigured files, hard drive and operating system upgrade issues, corrupt hard drive sectors, an outdated BIOS, and damaged or loose IDE cables.
Get more help and information for Windows XP hope this helps you.
