How to change num lock keys on laptop?
Most laptops the numeric key pad in the regular keys. Look at the keys carefully and see if the key pad is there. On mine the J is 1, K is 2, L is 3, U is 4, I is 5, O is 6 %26amp; is 7, * is 8, ( is 9, ) is 0 and is turned on with the FN key
This is different with different laptops
Attempt to activate Num Lock.
Press the Num Lock key. If nothing happens, try Shift+Num Lock.
If the text Num Lock is shown in a different color, find the matching-color key, such as Alt or Fn. Then press that key in combination with Num Lock.
You鈥檙e successful when the Num Lock light comes on. At that point, the keyboard has switched into numeric keypad mode.

How much does it cost to have a dead bolt changed?
I need to have the dead bolt / lock changes in my frount door asap. I tried to do it myself but after an hour I gave up and returned the lock to the store. How much would it cost to have a lock smith come out and change the lock and get a new lock?
How much does it cost to have a dead bolt changed?
generally we're probably lookin at about $50-$75 depending on your local lock smith. cheers!
How much does it cost to have a dead bolt changed?
$89 service call and $30 rekey charge for a double sided deadbolt.
About three fiddy
If u live in a place that has a landlord its free!! Tell him/her that the lock hasnt been locking right and u need a new one. He has to do it its the law. He has to take care of the property or u dont pay rent. As for locksmith i say $35-$50. If u have the lock.
it wouldnt take much time but I think most locksmiths will charge you a trip fee just to come out to your home to do it.
but really its a pretty easy and quick job...i have changed them out before and took about 5 or 10 minutes.
if you have just a little skill you can do it your self

Sheriff coming to evict, but the person listed as owner does not own property anymore?
sorry about posting in 2 different areas, but i am frantic! i want to get different perspectives..
The person listed as the plaintiff/owner of this property in a UD case that got a default judgment because he never served us papers, has the sheriff coming in 5 days. He got the judgment either a few days before or possibly more likely after escrow closed and property transferred to new owners
The new owners state they know nothing of this and will not be apart of it
So when the sheriff shows up to evict me, I will show him dated papers that the property was sold and to whom. There also SHOULD be a rep on site from the new owners that will state the plaintiff listed is no longer the owner. I cant see how the sheriff can let the non-owner change locks on an apartment he doesn't own.
That should work correct?
Is there anything else I can say/do/have to help?
My goal is not to stay, I planned on moving anyway. Just not it 5 days
Sheriff coming to evict, but the person listed as owner does not own property anymore?
This will not work. The sheriff has a court order. He has to follow the order, he can not just up and decide the judge was wrong and you should be staying there.
You need to be out of there, or you will be bodily removed. No one, not even your supposed %26quot;new owner%26quot; can interfere with out facing arrest themselves.
Sheriff coming to evict, but the person listed as owner does not own property anymore?
No, that won't work.
Get a good lawyer.
The sheriff will be there to enforce the court's decree. The sheriff has no interest in deciding the case, determining who owns what, who sold what, etc. All the sheriff knows about or cares about is that the court issued an eviction order. The eviction order applies to you. If you're the person on the court papers, then you're outta there.
Keep in mind, too, that the lease you had with the previous owner transfers over to the new owner. Now, if the new owner and you mutually agree in writing to changes in the lease, that's fine. But if you were in violation of your lease with the old owner, then you're in violation...period.
Talk to a lawyer immediately. And start looking for a new place to live.
the only way to stop a court order is to get the judge to rescind it. The sheriff has no authority to not follow the court order. He is just a sheriff there to follow the direction of the court. The court gave the order to get you out. Only the court can stop the order.
What you need is a lawyer to get a temporary injunction stopping the court order until a judge can officially rescind it. Without that, you will be put out by the sheriff.
Good Luck!horses good idea to buy a rental car

If my friend CO-SIGNS my rental lease...?
My friend has offered to co-sign my rental lease.
Does that mean he is allowed to get a set of keys to MY apt.?
How does this really work?
If he is allowed to keep a key to the apt. ,can I change locks?
Could this cause me any troule at all as long as I pay the rent,even a couple a months in advance????
I will be the one paying the rent,
and I will be the only one living there!
If my friend CO-SIGNS my rental lease...?
You do not need to give your friend a key and you CAN live alone. All a co-signer is is someone that will HAVE to pay your rent if you fail to do so. As long as you pay your bills, you are ok, no worries :)
If my friend CO-SIGNS my rental lease...?
Usually you can't change the locks. The owner of the apartment is the only one who can do that.
Basically if means you don't have enough credit history/GOOD credit history to rent the apartment by yourself. You need someone else to say %26quot;Yes, I will stand behind this person to prove that s/he can rent this apartment.%26quot;
Meaning if you can't pay the rent, guess who gets punished? Oh yeah, the person who co-signed.
He should get a copy of the keys.
However, to the friend: DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT co-sign on this lease. A person should NEVER co-sign for anything. You have no control and will be fully responsible for the lease if it is broken.
If your friend is nice enough to co-sign your rental lease...shouldn't you be nice enough to share your keys....
What a co-signer means is that they accept full responsibility should you fail to pay your rent or keep up your end of the bargain...
You want him to take on 100% of the risk and have no perks? Wow........ Shouldn't he have the right to enter incase you take off in the middle of the night instead of having to go through legal channels to get into HIS apartment?
In essence he is renting the place. If you don't trust him enough to have keys to a place he is responsible for, you shouldn't be involved with him at a cosigning level.
If he goes for it, He's a fool.
You friend isn't too smart in my book. If he/she co signs, they become legally liable for seeing that the rent is paid. Do you and they know this? If you decide to cut and run, they could be sued in court for the balance of the rent on your lease. Doesn't matter that you're living there. A lease is a legally binding contract. Frankly, I won't co sign for anyone, not even my kids! It's just bad financial decision.

How do I get out of this hell marriage?
We got married last august in LA, she is american and I am northern european and we live in the UK.my life has been a living hell for the last couple of 6 months and things are not getting better. We are expecting a child together bu I can't take it anymore, I have lost all my friends, I can't do anything but report to her and get her approval. I have become completely isolated from a normal life and I cannot even join my local gym or meet my work colleagues after work because she doesn't like gyms or driving. I want out and I don't want anything but my clothes and to see my child. I have nothing for her to take, she has all the money and the house, I have told her that I cannot live like this and that I want a divorce, she now has taken my debit/credit cards, passport and drivers license so that I cannot go anywhere.and she threatens to change locks on the doors if I leave the house. She is a complete nutcase and I just want to get the hell out of this marriage and move on with my life. What can I possibly do to get my belongings back and terminate this marriage? I can't even rent a hotel room without identification.
How do I get out of this hell marriage?
They you must challenge. if necessary, tear the house apart to look for your ID and whatnot.
If she changes the locks, bust out a window. Get the police involced in this mess
How do I get out of this hell marriage?
call the police dude.
Tell the police, it isn't right
i wish you all the best
divorce her or go to marriage council's
She can't take your personal items such as id, passport - Contact the consulate where you live - see if they can help you get another passport or id - and get away from that crazy woman.
Well, I don't know about the laws in the UK, but in the US the police will do a civil standby where the cops come over and wait there while you gather your belongings. Call them and tell them that she took your wallet, passport etc and that you want to leave but she won't return them to you. See if they will come out while you get them, maybe that will scare her into giving them to you. If they won't, do you know where she put your stuff? If you do, just go get it and leave while she is sleeping.
file for divorce and joint custody. tell the court what belongings she has of yours. she legally cannot take your credit and debit cards and identification. they will physically take them from her and give them back to you. if she refuses, she goes to jail. sorry for your strife, she does sound insane.
Well if her name is not on the credit then she basicly is steeling call the police then move out..
You should have never gotten married if you were not ready to be fully commited to your wife. Now she is expecting your child and you want a divorce. What a slime ball you are. Do her a favor give her more than half your money, leave the house, car, and everything else to her name and get out of her life. And you start over new, allow her to find a new husband so she can raise the child you have given her in a decent family with a man who loves her and her child. You do not deserve her.
File for a divorce, and worry about the aftermath later. If you walk out on her, where will her income come from? She cant deny you your child, so by law you have the right to be in your childs life. Leave and let her realize what she is doing to you, and she will because its just like they say, %26quot;you never know what you have until its gone%26quot;.
911
I think the best thing to do is confront her one last time and tell her exactly how you feel and what do you want.
if she disagrees hire a good lawyer and take this to court. I`m sure they will appeal to your case.
Good luck on the 180 turn on your life !
YOU KNOW YOU CAN ALWAY GET NEW CARD AND GO TO THE DMV AND GET A NEW ONE WITH A CHANGE OF ADDRESS...
THEN WHEN YOU GO TO WORK DONT COME HOME....BUT BE READY FOR A BIG DIVORCE BATTLE SHE SOUND LIKE SHE WILL PUT YOU THUR THE RINGER
SEEK GOOD LAWYER AND LET HIM KNOW WHATS HAPPENING,.BEST OF LUCK
Your child needs you. Some of my close, close friends have grown up without there fathers/mothers and they turned out horrible; on drugs, hookers, McDonalds workers, one of them committed suicide. I know you feel trapped and depressed, and I can see how you feel that way, but you should get marriage counseling, for your baby. Your baby needs you there while he/she grows up. Just try to work it out with counseling and I'm sure your wife will loosen up. She is just acting the way she is because she loves you very much and is afraid you will leave and not be there for your baby, or her. Just try to work it out!
number one get a laywer order a new debit card and above all get a po box open a new bank account and most of all beat the hell out of her you seem to be a patsy and not a man
besides how can she use your debit card without a pin number you must be a real big foooooooool
,
it is sometimes very hard to think straight and I know this may sound simply talk to a lawyer.
If she's confining you in her home, that's kidnapping. See U.S. Code Title 18, section 1201, a link to which can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/y586y3 .
You may want to call the police. Best of luck.
I understand what you are going through. Not sure if I have the whole story. Did you ever give her reason to distrust you so that she needs to know who you see and where? As a married couple, I think you need to keep her informed. However, I do not agree to her banning you from gym and driving, or confiscating the legal documents - sound very drastic and needs professional help! She may have been against gym due to the high membership fee or shapely women parading before you? I did not and still do not like mine watching another language channel due to the low IQ and flesh parade type of prgrammes, or horror movies, but as years went by, I gave him his some space to prevent quarrels. As you have a child coming your way, consider yourself blessed by God. Stay and fight for a better marriage by having a mutual talk. I know you would find it hard to remain calm but you have gotta try. Also, pray for guidance before you do anything. Good luck. BTW, pregnant ladies can be very unpredictable. My colleague's wife had fiery temper and lost her temper often - so he knew she was pregnant again!
First take a breather...
You've been married a short time, and are all ready expecting a child. Congrat's
Not knowing the full story, but it sounds like you're being selfish.
Has she always lived in the UK?
Does she have family or friends in the UK?
Remember those sweet dates you too had?
Remember why you married her?
Your wife is pregnant! How do you think she is feeling?
When you say you need her approval, come one, it is communication and honesty. %26quot;Hey, honey, I am going here with Ted, and I will be home at 10pm.. Can I bring anything home for you?
Relax, marriage is a special friendship, that needs work, time, and committment. ALL MARRIAGES do.
And people from the UK and the USA have different cultures, and sub-cultures.
with out knowing the whole story: try to understand how she is feeling right now, especially being pregnant.
I'd prefer to hear her side of the story as well. But, if you just want 'out' w/o trying to work it out (you've not said you have gone to marriage counselling), even though you have a child on the way, well then, go to the police station and ask for assistance.
Wow, that is definately abuse, psychological as well as physical. You need to gain back some control for starters...Call the police, first, and get assistance getting what rightfully belongs to you...like your passport for starters and drivers license also...pack up your clothes, and then get an attorney to start proceedings. You will have parental rights, and that will be settled in court mediations and similar hearings for you in your situation...When you have a mate acting this crazy and bizarre, expect a rough road, but from the sounds of it, that is nothing new... But, you cannot keep living like this...no one deserves to be basically held prisoner in life. I wish you the best, and hope it helps...Your life does need to change...and I hope it does soon. Take care.
sad how a marriage have to end with a divorce but sometimes u just don't have another option..i'm a female and believe in marriage to last 4ever but right this moment i think divorcing your wife is the only way to get your life back..i know what type of a woman ur wife is...u just can't reason out with her and she won't listen to anything u say and yet she wants you to listen to her..i have a few ideas as how you can take ur belongings and life back..1st idea is - why don't u try to contact her family in america and try to ask them to talk senses into ur wife's head..if that doesn't work then try 2nd idea- be nice to her and 1 day when she is less alert, grab ur things and run for your dear life.. but if u just run away then in the future u will have problems gaining custody for ur kid..life is tough..right now u need ur family support so talk to them often and don't keep everything to urself..she threathens to change the locks if you leave the house..that is just crazy..if i were u as much as i love my child i will just walk away and let time decide..1 day ur child will look for u or maybe when the time is right u can go and look for him/her..she will probably brainwash ur child to hate u so be strong and if u really am going to walk away do remember to keep track or keep in touch with her family in america cuz u might need their help someday..

I am a single man and I own a locksmith business. I frequently go out on re-keys (change locks) because of relationships ending. I usually meet friendly attractive women who are going through breakups and divorces. I would be interested in dating some of these women but I don't know how to make the move from locksmith to asking them out. Is it inappropriate or creepy to ask them out? If it's not, then how should I go about it? I have thought about calling these women back a few weeks later to see how they are doing but I don't want to set off the creep meter. I'm average looking, funny, street and life smart. I'm just not sure on this one. What are your thoughts?

At business you should not be dating. also if you ask one they may call your supervisor and report you. that is not a way to meet women. you gotta hit the bars, starbucks, and places like that.
but to ask cusotmers will you go out iwht me is creepy as you put it.

Massively creepy. Don't do it. If she offers her number, take it. The closest thing you can appropriately do is give her your card and say, %26quot;Here's my card. Call if you have any problems or need any more locks changed.%26quot;
A locksmith knows where you live and can get into your house easily. That is the last kind of person that I want to hear from out of the blue. I would actually feel threatened and sort of scared if a locksmith (or anyone who'd done work on/in my home) called to ask me out.
Try an online dating service maybe.
I'm really not sure, I guess it depends on the woman's point of view. Having been through a breakup, some of them will be edgy towards men in general and find you creepy and/or take offense, some will be lonely and will welcome flirting, some will be lonely and may use you as a crutch so beware for that, some may be determined to find a new better man in their lives and are ready to move forward (these are the ones you want to find). I don't think it's innaproppriate, just follow your instincts when asking them out, deep inside you know how to make sure you don't come off creepy. Be confident, it's really nothing different than if you were approaching these women at a supermarket or anywhere else you might meet them, where you could also come off as creepy. Be courtious and respectful to these womens' situations and just go with it, your intentions are good.
Meet women other ways. The idea that a locksmith made a key to your house, and now wants to date IS CREEPY, even for a man to think about.
Try chat rooms.
just say: would you like to go out some time?
Oh my. This is tricky. Your concerns are totally logical. As a woman, I would probably feel flattered but, at the same time, freaked out that the locksmith is asking me out on a date while changing my lock or after the fact via phone. Honestly, I think it would creep me out knowing that the locksmith has access to my house and all. Even though you technically don't, most women assume you do. Woman (and men) also know that many crimes are committed by people who install security systems and locks because they have access to special equipment. The scary movies that have recently been made and all the CSI shows that depict the locksmith as the murderer certainly don't help. However, if I coincidentally %26quot;wink wink%26quot; ran into the locksmith on the street, at a club, at the supermarket, etc., and stuck up a conversation, I wouldn't be freaked out.
Here's what I would do. When you complete the installation of the lock, be sure to leave your business card. The card should include your business number AND your personal number. This puts the ball in her court.
Also, follow up all services by mailing a professional survey to the home owner. Do this two weeks after the lock has been installed. The survey should ask professional questions about the quality of the service provided, the quality of the lock installed, suggestions for change, friendliness and professionalism of the person who installed the lock (you of course), etc. Put your business card in the survey. Be sure to pre-stamp an envelope so it can be returned. If she chooses to mail the survey back, wonderful! You will receive good feedback on how to improve your company. Here is the sneaky part. It will also trigger her memory and put the ball back in her court. Maybe after a few weeks some of the women will be bold enough to call you for non-professional reasons.
Also, start hanging out at some of the local clubs in the neighborhood where you install the locks. If the woman is newly single, you just might cross her path while she's hangin' with her girls. Say something like, %26quot;You look so familiar. I'm a locksmith, were you one of my customers?%26quot; Don't say her name or the neighborhood she lives in. Deliberately mix up details. For instance, if she lives in Jonestown, Say, %26quot;Don't you live in Hagerstown? And you have that home business, right?%26quot; Just be vague and casual and dumb about it. Otherwise, she'll get scared.
A woman going through the trouble of changing her locks due to a scary man who may have threatened her life is extremely vulnerable.
it would be playing the odds for sure and tactless.
Do you really want to get into what could be a death sentance for yourself?
I had a friend who was going through something similar when she had the police accompany her to her shared home to pick up her belongings.
The cop decided that it would be a good time to try and score with my girlfriend.
She was put off to say the least.
You are in a position to help only by doing the job you were hired to do.
There's a ggod chance that a percentage of women you ask out will date you, but when a woman is in an emotionally fragile state, it's not really healthy for either of you unless you like being the %26quot;saviour type%26quot; or want more complications in your life with ex psycho boyfriends and husbands.
I would be put off by your advances if I hired you, but really who knows?
If you must play the odds, leave your card and explain that when she'd done dealing with all the turmoil, she could always call you for a llunch date.
That's sort of less intimidating then being super direct.
I dunno. My first thought is %26quot;wrong. Don't do it%26quot; but you'll probably score due to the womans emotionally fragile state.
Is that what you want to deal with at the time?
Are tou ready to babysit?
Think about that.
That is hard because it can come across as being creepy and they might report you to your company. You could say to them that you don't want to come across creepy but that you would like to have lunch/dinner with them. Just be prepared for some of them to say no or worse.
Scary as hell since you're a locksmith and can get in their house anytime. You're going to have to wait until one of those women are interested in YOU. Look extra special, no not make up, but nice hair cut, shave, etc. Make them laugh. Give your card and say call me any time and give a non creepy look but interested look (interested in them look) and .. hopefully they call.

In a long-distance relationship - is it fair to hold a grudge when he can't be when you need him?
The reason I am here in %26quot;marriage and divorce%26quot; is because this is about my relationship after a divorce (and it's a long-distance one). Not sure why but recently a lot of nasty things happened to me in a space of few weeks: was ill for 3 weeks, then car crash (lucky escape), then the recent one when I was harassed by the lodger in my house and was scared for my life. Long story but managed to change locks, called the police 3 times cause she was threatening and erratic. The truth is my boyfriend has been very supportive while this was happening, but on the phone. A part of me is now really really sad because I feel if it happened to him I would fly over straight away... it's one hour of a flight only.. obviously, it didn't occur to him. So is this not love then? Should I stop it if that's how I feel?

Did you ask him to come see you? If you did and he refused then maybe he doesn't care as much for you as you do for him.
If you didn't ask, give him the benefit of the doubt, guys don't know what you're thinking or what you need. He probably feels that in a situation like that he can handle himself and you must be doing ok too.
Long distance relationships are tough and few work out for the best. I hope this one does for you but do not ignore the signs if it's not. Just ask yourself if this is something you want to go through, by yourself.

well i think sometimes men can be slightly inconsiderate and won't think what we might need....just talk to him about it..next time you need him he'll know..sometimes you just have t hint in a smart way at what you want him to do...like while on the phone to him you could say %26quot;i really need you right now..wish you could just jump on the plane and be here to pick me up%26quot; or something less cheesy!
hope you're ok!
Did you ask him to come over? Guys are inherently bad at telling what they should or should not do...how can he be expected to know that you need him right there if you don't tell him? You can't bear a grudge against him for not being telepathic - men are fairly simple folk.
why does he live away??? maybe bc of his job he couldnt come.
Ex. My husband is military and no matter how sick i was or even better i was having his child and he couldnt come for the birth.
I think it depends on what each of you consider priority. My husband was a long distance relationship, he lived an hour flight away...my father died and I did not expect him to come to me unless he could really drop his obligations. He was able to get out of work but he had to beg for the time.
Perhaps the bf didn't want to miss work...
Perhaps he did not think that he would want to miss a chance to come out right at those times and then lose his chance at coming at a later time?
Did you ask him why he didn't consider it?
It doesn't mean he doesn't love you...he probably just weights things differently than you do.
Make sure to communicate your feelings. Relationships will have their ups %26amp; downs...if you feel bad right now...you may not two days from now. Be patient.
I wouldn't call a one hour flight a long distant relationship. A 24 hour flight yes. I would be like you I would have flew in the circumstances. If my partner was only 1 hour away and we were serious about each other. I would like to think we could spend time together every other weekend.
Long distance relationships, hun they dont work. Man role is to be there to protect and shelter his female partner. Hold her to make her feel secure and to kiss her when she feels un loved. May sound weird and I am a rugby player born and bred in South Africa but every man should have been taught that by their father. If you are in tears does a pillow stroke your hair or hold you tight and so dont worry I wont let anything hurt you. Living in the UK now it was a major culture shock to see how woman get treated here but in fairness not all english guys are the same but the majority rule applies here. If you have read all the answer you get it doesnt matter you still have to do what right by yourself and what you feel will make you happy.
