Strange Num Lock problem

I have an unusual num lock problem with W2K SP4.

In the Administrator account there's no problem, but in my personal account
when ever I log on the num lock turns on. I have read through quite a few num
lock threads and have tried the Reg Edit which is set to 0. When I turn Num
Lock off and restart it doesn't save the setting as it should and always
turns back on when I log on my personal account. Like I said, there is no
problem with the admin account.
There is also no setting in the bios for num lock. (Dell L400 A09 Bios)

Would anyone have any suggestions please?

Regards,
Kevin

If it does not then a new profile would fix it.

Have already checked that Pegasus - "have tried the Reg Edit which is set to 0"

I was aware that you had checked the registry but since the
average registry contains 10,000 or more entries, it was difficult
to guess what exactly you had done.

Try creating a new profile for yourself.

Kleefarr,

Myabe you have a policy changing the setting back when you login

When you say your login. Are you a network user using a roaming profile or a
local user using a limited account?
