(it did change to the stand by screen though, just stay there .any help would be appreciated?
first,set my stand by less then 45 minutes so i don't know if it would works with the instructions. secondly, the links to download the hotfix does not works,but thnks
.... i don't think it is freezing because i pressed the number lock key and it still work.
The Num Lock / Caps Lock keys are low-level operations and never (appear) to be affected by windows-crashes / locks etc.
They will 'almost' always work (for some reason - I have no clue why; maybe Dos related ...another topic)
If they do appear to work there is a slight possiblity that windows will come back to life (usually highly unlikely) - if, however, said buttons refuse to work at all ....then u may as well power-off (ideally you will have XP and above !)
