Typing Error

I just posted my question and now I can't find it. So again, I am having
problems on my Dell Inspiron Laptop E1505 with typing errors. Everytime I
type either on address bar or a word doc or whereever on my laptop, it types
numbers when typing letters and it types letters when typing numbers. Not
all keys type erroneously. This happened after my grandson played a game on
it. Could that caused the problem and how can I correct that? Thank you.
P.S. I am typing from my desktop. Please, I need a remedy.

Re: Typing Error

Check that the NumLock on the keyboard is off. If it´s on that could be the
cause of the problem.

Re: Typing Error

I you have a laptop, look at the keys 7,8,9,0,U,I,O,P,J,K,L,;,M,. and /.
These keys act as a numeric keypad if "num lk" (numeric lock) is on. On my
HP notebook, I turn numlock on or off by pressing the fn key, next to the
left ctrl key, along with the "num lk" key just above the backspace key near
the top right. However, if only numlock is on, that will not cause numbers
on the top row to become letters. I don't know what is causing that.
