DOS utility to turn on and off CAPS/NUM lights?
« on: March 10, 2005, 06:59:30 pm »
Does anyone know of any DOS utilties that turn on and off CAPS LOCK and NUM LOCK?
I found this tutorial on the Microsoft support site and I made the CAPS_ON.COM things that it talks about, but for some reason they won't work when called from a BAT file.

I want to use the NUM/CAPS LEDs to control the lighting on my cocktail control panels.

Anyone?

Tried that too...doesn't work here either...

What OS are you using? I'm trying it on Windows XP (SP2)...

I'm guessing it will probably run fine on Win 95 or Win 98, although don't use either, so cannot test...

I tried it with XP first, then I tried from DOS 7.1

Both gave the same results; gives errors during debug, but they kind-of-work with strange side effects.
Running two of them in a BAT file causes the screen to fill with garbage and the computer locks up.

Bump
I too am trying to turn Num Lock key off..... for the purpose of using a key pad like this one below for imputing a juke box.

If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
