This is where I got confused at first.

Also, my blank icon gets replaced with a black box upon startup. Any help? If you’re on Vista and the Alt code won’t work, you must go to the character map and copy a blank character into the name.

You have to hold alt+Fn keys and then type the numbers using the secondary number pad. Take a look at your keyboard, under/right next to the letter U you will probably see a tiny 4, and then a tiny 5 on the next key, etc... Use that numberpad. It works, you just have to do it right.

I went back to the laptop, turned on num lk and used the second set of number keys given (not the ones across the top of the keyboard) and it worked fine. Hopefully this can help someone else.
