    You probably have a laptop and pressed the function key along with the num key which causes your keys to change role (from letters to a number pad). Try pressing the Function key and the num key to get rid of this.

    Thanks a bunch! I just signed up for the site to say that, since it has been driving me nuts for the past week :mad: of course, having a malfunctioning keyboard makes you really hate character map when googling potential fixes. Cheers :D
