#Sid meier pirates 1920x1080 resolution how to#

In any event I found another user in a thread on a Microsoft forumВ on this same issue and the answer there describes how to alter the security settings on the portion of the registry where windows stores the current state when shutting down, if you are comfortable following those directions thirn (I've not tried it yet) in theory this would let you set that registry value so numlock is always considered ON at startup and windows cannot 'remember' any other setting (should some program have turned it off) That means that in the defaut OS config there's no hope for a restart fixing this problem once the state of the numlock has been turned 'off'

To make our lives even more fun it appears that windows 7 attempts to 'remember' the state of the numlock key at shutdown and will re-establish that setting when windows is next started up.

That HP didn't anticipate that some software might change the state of the numlock, and this might create difficulty for users, is one of their biggest blunders in designing this keyboard. So surprise surprise, software can 'reconfigure' the numberpad by simply changing the state of num-lock. ANY program can do this and it's perfectly 'legal' since all they are doing is making use of the API that MS provides. So some program (such as a game) that you run could toggle the numlock state. More importantly it means that software can change the state of the key. That means there's a setting inside the OS that reflects the state of the key, and furthermore in now way is not providing the key on the keyboard going to change that fact.

I've done a bit of web searching and rapidly found found that the windows API includes a way to set the state of numlock. In that case the OS expects it to behave as one, and that includes a dual function number-pad controlled by a num-lock key. It doesn't matter what HP 'designed' the keyboard to be when it reports to the OS as a normal 101 key keyboard. However, it's the type of suggestion that I would expect from someone concerned only with their immediate 'resolution numbers', and with no long term interest in customer satisfaction. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that doing that will only fix this problem till it happens the next time. Secondly, rebuilding my system for something that is obviously a transitory software solution is one of the stupidest requests a support person can make. Firstly I don't have the quickweb stuff enabled and am not going to go to all the hassle of enabling it to see what happens there. I have found a fix (see below) but first of all I feel I must address the proposed 'solution' given above.

Check for Numpad functionality in Quickweb? The Numpad on the Envy 17 is designed to be number pad only and not have other embedded functionality into it.So it is really strange to see that some software is over riding that.Д¬ernenus & andwar57 - Could you guys do a last and final check for me.
