I'm having the same problem.  Have you found a solution yet?

BTW, I even decided that I could settle for Numlock always being off, but I can't 
even get THAT to work.  My BIOS turns it off, but when XP loads it restores the previous 
state of the keyboard.  I've tried setting ALL of the "InitialKeyboardIndicators" 
in the registry to 0 (as described in this thread), but when I log off, XP simply 
replaces those values with whatever value it thinks should be there...  

Has anyone been able to turn Numlock OFF in XP?
