    sounds like you have the number pad feature turned on somehow, is your function key stuck?, I've never messed around with the faux number pad, go to dell support and look up your manual, or just look in your manual if you have it and it should tell you how to enable/disable, actually I think you can disable it in the bios come to think of it on my m1210, on yours I have no idea though
