I have a MS Wireless Multimedia Keyboard and have two problems with
it. Perhaps someone here might have solutions.
1) On boot up it defaults to F lock being off which is awkward for
accessing safemode, bios etc. Is there a way to set it to start up
with Flock on?
2) If I have a boot up that requires a chkdisk, the process never
starts because somehow the keyboard cancels the chkdisk. If I plug in
a hardwired keyboard then chkdisk proceeds normally. Anyone heard of
this or know of a fix?

Thanks for the F lock fix, Bob..worked great.
The other problem still exists..my keyboard receiver is plugged into
PS/2 port. Even if I schedule a chkdisk for next reboot, it always
comes up as "canceled" tho I don't touch any keys. If I plug my old
keyboard into the same port and reboot, chkdisk works fine. Odd.

I'm just guessing here but the keyboard "init" may be interpreting the
wireless response as "ESC" and aborting it on you.
