I have a HP TC1100 and I am having a problem with the numlock key. It
appears that when I bootup or log out of XP, I have to turn off the numlock
key function in order to log in.

Is there a way to disable this?

Hi, Russell,

Have you changed the bios to start with the number lock on? If so, you can
change it to "Off" in the bios.

If there's a reason that you want the number lock on by default at boot,
then I think that you'd need to be sure your logon and your password don't
use any of the characters that are used by numbers on the keyboard.

How do you get into the BIOS on this system?

First question: Do you have an external keyboard attached to the system when
booting? Does it happen if you have only the standard HP keyboard attached?

To get into the bios you touch the button on the jog dial just as it is
booting and a menu should pop up. One of the options will be to get into the
bios.

I don't recall that there *is* and option in there to control this.

Russel,

There is a registry entry you can change that should resolve this, external
keyboard or not, at http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com

Specifically - go here:

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_n.htm

scroll to the bottom of the page.

On reboot, press the jog dial on the side.

(previous T1000 owner, now loving the Toshiba M200)

Hi -

may I ask you for a very little favor? I can't change the screen orientation
anymore after some updates (was not able to find the exact problem), so I'm
fixed to landscape.

Could you please have a look what screen is installed on your device? Is it
"plug and play"-screen? Could you also look at screen-properties for the
driver files that are used?

THANK YOU!

I updated my TC 1100 with the latest NVIDIA drivers without success.

I remember there was a resolution 1024x768 AND 768x1024 before (now there's
only 1024x768) and whenever I click "change screen orientation", I get an
error that this setting is not available and I should look for display
properties..

Regards

Peter

Peter are you using Nvidia's drivers from their web site, or the OEM
drivers? I noted on HP site they have two "fixes" listed for download:
http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/fi...oad/20037.html
http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/fi...oad/19762.html

If you haven't already, you might try giving those a go.

Good morning, Chris -

thanks again for your support (you're a very active one..).

Of course I tried both versions of HP's video drivers -> no success :-(.

I think my problem is related to the display, since I remember the selection
of 1024x768 _and_ 768x1024 before (now only 1024x768).

Thanks + regards,

G.

Hi again -

yes, Sir - HP website says (entering product code DQ871A and the serial
number) "unfortunately there's no support for this model" (a german message
with this meaning). I tried this from another PC which I marked a page
before ("is the problem related to _this_ PC?" - "no").

Regards,

P.

Have you tried calling their support telephone number? Are you to use the
product code or just TC1100? (Not having one, I don't know.)
