    Hi again everyone. Ive been having a problem with my laptop keyboard and was wondering if anyone had any advice. Ive been using an external keyboard sometimes and after I unplug it my laptops keyboard starts messing up. The letters on the right side (k, l, i, o, p, etc) start registering numbers. The numbers still register numbers too though. I fixed this problem once using the system restore tool, but Im hesitant to do it again since I've installed a bunch of new stuff. If anyone has had this problem before or knows what im doing wrong I'd love some advice. Thanks!

    Check to make sure Scroll Lock and Num Lock isn't on.
