I have 2 quesitons:

1. How can you emulate numpad? I have DiNovo Edge keyboard and many trainers etc. need you to press numpad buttons to activate certain options. But there is no numpad. I found a numpad software emulator but they don't work that well.

2. How can I enter safemode? When my computer starts I need to press a button on my keyboard to enter the boot menu. But since it's a bluetooth keyboard I can't because it's not activated until windows loads.

Thnx

re: question 1, tried any of these?

I have a bluetooth M$ Wireless Entertainment Keyboard 7000 without a keypad, but at least they put the numpad as secondary keys (like on a laptop).

WTF, I think the DiNovo desktops also have the numpads as secondary? It'd really be a "" moment if I was to open a box and discover no numpad buttons... Laughing

And bluetooth peripherals are mostly dependent on bios support (as were USB peripherals not so long ago).

yeah, it's really nice looking plus it has a touchpad built in ... perfect for HTPC but not so much for gaming... I actually use the numpad instead of WSAD in FPS Razz

Well I'm going to use it for my living room. Connect a computer to plasma TV and this keyboard is perfect.

Anyway so if I understand you correctly in order to use a bluetooth keyboard to enter safe mode on your computer you need to tinker with the bios settings?

Your bios has to support that first, and maybe you have to enable it.
