Log on as Administrator on you PC. For Windows Xp go to Start > Run. For Vista Click on Start Then type in gpedit.msc and hit Enter on your Keyboard.

  1. Yo will see the Group Policy Editor. Then navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > System.
  2. Now find and double-click on Prevent access to registry editing tools Then select either Disabled or Not Configured and Click OK.
  3. Now close the Group Policy Editor and restart your PC.

If you don't have Group Policy Editor on your version Windows, scan you PC for malewares using a good Anti-Malware software.

Click on "Start" Select "Run" and type in "regedit" and click ok. I strongly advice you not to do this unless you know what you are doing- you can easily make mistakes that will disable programs.

(0 = Num Lock is turned OFF after the logon. 1 = Disable Num Lock. 2 = Numlock is turned ON after the logon.)
