You more then likely have the number lock on look for a key that has a num lock(or numlk) on it if its a laptop it is more then like the letter key that has numbers on them. look for a key on the lower left hand side of the key board that has fn on it hold that key down and then press the key that has num lock or num lk on it and that should fix the problem.
This should be a simple fix, look at your keyboard, you should have a function key and if you look at the number pads above the top row of letters there should be either a numerical symbol or a key pad, your keyb board is simply using several keys as an extended numerical keypad. If you look closely at the letters there are small numbers on them. To fix hold down function key and pressing the keypad button. You can also try pressing the number lock.
Look for the numlock light somewhere near the keyboard. It's the light with a drawing of a lock with a 9.
If it's lit up. turn it off by pressing the numlock key.
Turning it back on will activate the number keypad (consists of 9-11 keys in the middle of the keyboard). So instead of getting letters, numbers appear.
