Hey.
Hope this goes in the right catagory, figured it was more software than hardware related.
I just got a logitech DiNovo keyboard. I got it set up all well and good, and the logitech setpoint software installed with no trouble. However it appears that the keyboard has no numlock key, and in it's place there's a pretty much useless "clear calculator" key.
It appears that there's no fn keypress you can use, so it's impossible to switch on and off numlock on the keyboard as far as I can see, please correct me if I'm wrong someone.
So I thought I'd just write a program that'd take a hotkey and switch the numlock state, but no go, when numlock's switched off that way jaws won't use the numpad as it should, and it just says "numlock off" without reacting in any other way.
So my question is, is ther a way to switch numlock off successfully on a logitech keyboard somehow, so you can actually use it with jaws as the jaws curser and other random stuff too? Or do I have no other option besides the laptop layout. I tried google, but couldn't find anything that worked there.
I'll try logitech support on monday, but maybe some of you had an idea of what to do.
Thanks.
Malthe.
