Keyboard problem

[siEricko]

I have a system that run on windows xp, it has a keyboard pad tha
connected to the keyboard encoder that attached to the motherboard.
The problem is the keyboard pad won't work unless there is a externa
keyboard connected. I suspect that XP does not load the keyboar
driver(i8042prt.sys and kbdclass.sys) if XP doesnt detect a keyboard? A
I correct? If that is the case, so it seems that XP doesn't recogniz
the keyboard pad as the standart 101 keyboard.

Is there a way to tell XP to always load the keyboard driver even ther
is no keyboard? Or, is there a way to make the keyboard pad is bein
recognize as a normal keyboard?

for extra information: The keyboard pad I mention, is only consist o
F1-F10, numpad,and the direction arrow key)

no, there is no way to do this. the bios controls this behavior.
