They won't work at the log on screen but should work after he logs on.

Actually what is unusual is that it works for you. The default in XP is for
those keys to be inaccessible at the logon screen.

See the following page for a registry change that your husband can make
while logged on to his own account. Scroll down the page to the NumLock
section: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_n.htm
