I agree with zzz150 that this sounds like normal functionality, at
least if you are saying that NumLock is on by default and when it's
on, the digit keys on the numeric keypad generate digits rather than
cursor movement.  Could you explain your question a bit more?  Are you
looking for ways to reconfigure your PC so that NumLock is not turned
on by default?  Or are you saying that NumLock affects number keys
that are not in the numeric keypad?

i don't see a problem there. That is right behavior, when Numlock is
on you can only type numbers.
and when you turn on your pc, numlock is always on.

If you want to change whether the num-lock light is on or off when you boot,
there is probably an option in the BIOS to change it.  Press the 'Del'
key (or whatever other key your motherboard tells you) when booting up
to access the bios menu, there's probably an option that says "boot-up
num-locks status" or something.
