    One option would be to hold down the Num Lock key for 5 seconds until you see the box open up to turn on toggle keys. Toggle keys will allow you to hear a tone to indicate the turning on or off of Num lock, caps lock, scroll lock, etc. It is a different tone for turning off and different tone for turning on.

    I would recommend this over the on screen notification, as the screen notification can interrupt full screen programs running.

    For those who want more options, I recommend this software: download.cnet.com/.../3000-2072_4-10604212.html

    You're welcome :) Glad I could help :) Let me know if you need further help. 

    Quick followup: I would recommend checking to see if your system is compatible with QuickSet. This application is available from your drivers and downloads section of the dell site.  This software does offer some additional support in notifications. Typically, this would already be installed, but for others who may review this question or need assistance, it is worthwhile to see if their system supports it :)
