    Make sure your num lock is off. Press the Windows Button + The R key.
    It should open the run dialogue. Type in: OSK

    This should open the on screen key board. Check if the num lock is active and deactivate it.

    Also go to Control Panel and open the Regional Options. If your "@" sign on the keyboard is combined with the "2" key then change your keyboard to US.

    Hope this helps...

    Cheers

    As the poster above mentions, check your number lock. Since I'm assuming you're using a laptop, it will probably be the function button (usually a different color and labeled "FN") plus "Num Lock" which should match the color of the function button.
