    I can't find a Numlock key on my keyboard and yet every now and then pretty frequently keep getting a NUM Lock: ON message at the bottom right of the screen similar to the CAPS LOCK: ON/OFF

    This happening to anyone else?

    Oh I found the problem, I had Num Lock on on my other laptop [excuse the double 'on'] while using InputDirector to control it with my M11x. Every time I switch between screens the message pop's up unless I turn it on.

    I suppose this means the M11x has Num Lock on regardless of not having a Num Lock key.
