Num Lock Off message upon opening lid

Hello,
I never use the num lock, yet when I open the lid and unlock the laptop by entering my password, the num-lock symbol is constantly on and remains on. Sometimes if I close the lid and open it again the symbol will go away, but this is a hassle. Any tips? Advise?

"I don' think you fully understand the issue"
I agree. Due to lack of accurate details in the original post.
Here's the current behaviour on my system:
1. Whiled logged in, in an Windows desktop session, default num lock state is off (no message nor symbol is displayed on the desktop).
2. Upon pressing Fn+ScrLk (NmLk), a "num lock on" symbol indicator is displayed on the lower right hand side of the display.  The symbol remains visible for the duration of the "num lock" in the on state.
3.  Upon pressing Fn+ScrLk (NmLk) again (while the "num lock on" symbol indicator is displayed on screen), the "num lock on" indicator is then replaced with a "num lock off" indicator".  This indicator does not stay visible indefinitely, and will fade out and finally disappear after a few seconds of the action.
I don't get a "message"...

    How can i turn num lock off?
    It's really annoying when i try to add anything to the middle of sentences it erases the preceding letter.
    I can't find the key on my keyboard and can't find it in keyboard settings either.
    Thank you

    Hi
    Do you use MS Word?
    If yes, then you should disable the overtype function. You can see it marked as OVR.
    Double click on this shortcut and you will be able to disable this.

  • Num Lock onscren message language

    Hi, i need help with on screen message NumLock, or another hotkeys state..
    State imform me in "slovenian"language but i want slovak or english...
    In Slovak : Num LOCK: Zapnutý

    Hello restaurateur,
    Unfortunately, what you wrote and from the screen shot you took are two different things written.
    NUMLOCK: ISKLJUCENO means NUMLOCK: OFF
    and what you wrote NUMLOCK: Zapnuty means NUMLOCK: ON
    So is this question about changing the language in which it pops up the message of to make the NUMLOCK from off to on?
    Hope this helps,
    Alex

  • Javascript error message upon opening gmail only in firefox

    I get a javascript error message (Error: embeds[i].attributes.getNamedItem("src") is null) upon opening gmail, but only only in firefox, not in safari. I had firefox ver. 16.0.2 installed, then downgraded to 15.0.1, but I still get the message. I have an old macbook pro, OS10.5.8 -- can't go any higher. How can I resolve this?
    Thank you.

    I checked Gmail with a Firefox 16 version and it still works.

  • Safari locks up immediately upon opening.  Won't reset.

    We installed OS X about a week ago.  A few days into using it Safari locked up and crashed.  Tried restarting starting Safari but it immediately freezes on the window asking if you would like to reopen the tabs that were open.  Have to then do a force quit.  Have tried holding shift and re-opening.  Same results.  Have tried deleting all the "cache.db's", no luck.  Have tried re-installing OS X...still didn't fix it.  Tabs it is locked on are Gmail, Facebook and AOL.  OS X won't let me delete Safari and re-install it.  Any other suggestions?  Thanks!

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Error message upon opening every time

    i get this error message every time i open illustrator
    i click yes but nothing seems to get fixed

    every thing actually seems to work alright with the app once opened however

    On opening, Illustrator needs to read your preferences file - could it be locked? Could it be that you don't have full privileges?

  • Keynote error message upon opening file

    This is a relatively new problem with this file... used it for a while before the error message started appearing. I'm attaching a screenshot. The presentation looks and works fine - so I don't believe I actually need the files.
    I use this file once or twice a week so if someone knows how to fix this I'd really appreciate it.

    Open Photoshop and check Edit - Preferences - General.
    Note the History Log section at the bottom.  What's set there?  Is it possible it's set to save a log of edits to a file in a folder that no longer exists?

    After reading a tip on this forum, I was able yesterday to get a friends Photoshop install to work by simply running the original Photoshop installer DVD (without having to uninstall Photoshop first), and then running the 12.0.4 patch installer again.  Amazingly, it works.

  • W530 Num Lock problems with VMWare

    All,  I am having a major problem with VMWare and the W530 "Num Lock".  When I move the cursor into the VMWare window a message comes on say "NUM LOCK: ON" when I move it out of the VMWare window I see message "NUM LOCK: OFF".  I do not have any key on the keyboard to disable Num Locl.  There are utilities I can run in the SUSE VMWare image to capture the key binding and remap, but I do not have anyway of turning Num Lock on or off to capture
    the key binding.
    Suggestions ?
    Solved!

    Hello and welcome,
    A couple of things you might try.  Don't know if they'll work on your W.  They do work on some other Lenovo machines.
    Plug in a USB keyboard that has numlock.  Use that and see if it sticks after reboot.
    Use the on-screen keyboard.  Click "options" and enable numeric keypad.  That should add a keypad and NUMLOCK key to the on-screen keyboard.  Use that.  See if it works - and if it sticks.
