Then you have a keyboard I've never seen. The bios of some machines allow you to determine the startup status of the num lock. You might try flipping it. However I still don't know that's it. It would be easy to test if it were a key.

You don't have a num lock key turned on do you? But as much as I have a laptop, I have to hit the Fn key to get the cursor or letters to become numbers. Num lock does nothing to alter my keystroke. And oddly, I would have thought it would.

But this is probably why toshiba sent you an OEM disk.

My dell has BIOS updates that might effect your system.

Had to install a new hard drive so rather than use Toshiba's satellite 1955-S805 backup disks I upgraded with WinXP-pro and loaded the display, modem, Ethernet, sound, etc drivers. Everything is fine except - 5/6 is displayed for the up/down arrows and the period that goes into the selection box blotches out the box so I can not really see if it is selected. Friend recommended getting Toshiba's motherboard drivers but none are available on site. Does anyone know if this is something that WinXP can correct or do I need to seek out Toshiba?
