The keyboard of my laptop
The keyboard of my laptop is fucked. I plugged in a keyboard, and now when I type on the plugged in keyboard things work fine, but when I type on my laptop keyboard I get numbers for certain letters. Here goes: ” get n40bers f6r certa5n 3etters.”
I’m running Win XP on a Compaq Presario 700. I have 2 accounts on my laptop, the problem doesn’t occur on the other account (in Win XP you can have multiple logins, each with its own desktop preferences and such). I couldn’t find any tips on the compaq site… anyone has an idea?

u=4, m=0, o=6, i=5, l=3 …
I bet other keys behave like this…
789 = 789
uio = 456
jkl = 123
m = 0
look familiar?

Fixed: press the function key (bottom right) and the NUmLock key together.

Hi Peter
Good golly, this goes back to ‘02. I just had this happen on my old laptop and it was driving me nuts. I searched and searched google and finally found you. Thank you so much for such a simple answer. It worked and I couldn’t be happier.
Thanks again
