    I have a problem with keyboard, when I shutted down the windows XP thw light NUM LOCK on the keyboard is still on. I have to pull the cord at the back of my computer to turn off the light. It is a normal keyboard by the way.
    I've try to uninstall the keyboard driver and install it again. It's still happened.
    Any help would be much appreciated

    Yep, some keyboards are like that. Easiest solution is to reach over and tap the NumLock key once. (Like the CapsLock and ScrollLock keys, it's simply an On/Off toggle key).

    The motherboard is still supplied with power even though the computer is turned off.

    The three LEDs on my keyboard glow dimmly when the computer is off.

    If I reset the settings in the BIOS/CMOS the computer will start itself when the telephone rings :)
