ts not working because some computers do not override the BIOS.
you need to restart computer, As your computer starts up press 'F2' on the keyboard. Here scroll down through the BIOS menu until you see 'Keyboard NumLock'. Highlight this item and change the Numlock setting to what you want.now press esc to exit and save changes.
