Same prob with my Dell Vostro 1520
Hold down FN and num lock key at same time and it seems to have fixed the problem

I have a problem like this, but its much more severe than just num lock. sometimes, my keyboard goes into a state where whenever i press a key on my keyboard, except for esc and space, it types increasingly larger numbers. For example, q-w-e-r-t-y=123456 but tttttt=123456 as well, so however many times i press a key, the number it displays increases. this is very severe as I dont know how do stop it and it extremely limits my ability to use my laptop.

another thing to check make sure u dont have caps on, many computers will type random numbers for letters when u have caps lock plus the num lock on. soooo if any of those things didnt work try pressing the (caps lock) than hold fn+shift+num loc. if that doesnt work try shift+fn+scr lck.

and most of the time if ur computer is runnign slow try checking out how much ram u have. if u dont have much ram lefted ur computer will appear to run slow. so update ur ram, and registry scan, and disk defrags. gl have fun.

when i type some letters on my desktop computer’s keyboard it also includes numbers.. like 7 for letter ‘O’, 1 for ‘L’,( vice versa)and ¥ for the spacebar.. that is if the numlock is on.. if its off, after typing each letter, it would go back to the first line and i have to place back the cursor to the end to continue typing..
what can i do?
