hi i was hoping that somone could help me with my scroll lock problem, i have just bought a cm devastator keyboard and mouse and the keyboard backlight is always off when i boot up so i looked to see if could change that. i found some information about regedit and have tried changing keyboard reg, both default and user and no joy i changed the code to 6 and i changed them to 2147483654 and nothing works has anybody got any ideas or can tell me what im doing wrong

many thanks adam
 
thanks for the reply and im glad that im not the only one that looked into this lol i tried setting the code to 4 and the keyboard stayed light all the way through boot up until windows welcome screen then it just loaded num lock and nothing else, thought you had cracked it but was kicked in the teeth agen lol. i know pressing scroll lock when pc switches isnt that big of a deal but my partner is a bit of a technophobe and also has a slight memory problem was just trying to make the keyboard transition as easy as poss for her that was all. when i boot all the settings in the default folder including the folders under default stay as i put them ie. 6 or 4 or the other long code but the current user folder keeps defaulting back to 2, me trying to help has now turned into a problem because its bugging me that i know it can be done but something is stopping it lol :mad:
 
no theres no such thing purely just p&p was worth a try though i have come across a exe file that switches scroll lock on then quits what you do is put it in your startup folder then it switches it on when you boot up but it came up with - are you sure you wants to run this box so i unchecked the box that said ask me every time but now it stopped working after that lol not sure what happened
 
i have managed to sort the .exe instead of it being located on my ssd which i dont know why it wouldnt work, maybe it was trying to load it to quick i dont know lol and moved it to my hdd and it has worked treat
 
scratch that just restarted twice and it hasn't worked, only worked once WTF! ed209 how do i do this batch file of which you speak surly such wizardry does not exist
