I have a gray-label IBM Model M keyboard that I got used off of eBay. When the computer starts up, I enter my Windows password using the numpad. On a regular basis (though not every single time as I recall), the numlock light is on but the numlock doesn't work. I have to press numlock key twice to get it to go off and then once more to get it to come back on again. Then I can enter my passord using the numpad. This is annoying. Does anyone know why this is happening?
My guess is that I could solve this problem either by getting a PS/2 to USB adapter or by buying a Unicomp keyboard that has a USB cable. Before I do either of these things, I thought I would ask you guys to see if anyone has any recommendations.
