Batch File To Boot Computer With NumLock Key |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: This information from the July PC/Computing magazine lists steps for a batch file to keep the NumLock key from becoming active while the computer boots. Follow the steps below to create the necessary files to keep the NumLock key from being activated during the boot process. Type the following lines into an ASCII file, and save the file as NONUM.SCR. A 100 MOV AX,0000 MOV DS,AX AND BYTE PTR[0417],DF INT 20 RCX C N NONUM.COM W Q After the file has been saved, go to the DOS prompt and type the following: DEBUG < NONUM.SCR To turn NumLock off every time you boot your PC, put NONUM.COM as a line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Store the NONUM.SCR file in the root directory. If you have the ECHO OFF command at the beginning of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, place the NONUM.COM line after the ECHO OFF line. If ECHO OFF is not in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, place NONUM.COM file near the top of the file, or have it be the first line. After the NONUM.SCR batch file is created, customers need to make sure it is in the root of C:\ before running the instructions for DEBUG. The DEBUG command creates a file called NONUM.COM in the save directory where NONUM.SCR is located. Unless both NONUM.COM and NONUM.SCR files are in the root of C:\ turning NumLock off by using NONUM.COM won't work. |
