355733 2005-05-16 10:53:00 Hi to all,
I have a laptop that will only type numbers on the right hand half way side, instead for letters, this happens in Word as well as the browsers address bar, this does not seem to be happening in DOS or when I log on with my password as 2 of my password letters are on the right hand side, i and o.
Has anyone else had this type of problem, I would really like to know,
Thanks Sidney

look for a FN key and a NUM key.

hold FN and hit NUM and that should turn off num lock.

355735 2005-05-16 10:58:00 You have turned on the number pad. If you have a look at those keys they will have little numbers on them, usually coloured blue.
You will need to hold down the fn key and press the key with the blue number pad symbal on it. (on mine it is f8)

Edit: too slow :)
