I have a HP dv 9000 notebook with a separate number pad on the keyboard. I usually keep the numb lock "on", but now all of a sudden with the nub lock "on" traditional keys such as jkl-uio display 123-456. I know if I turn "off" the numb lock key, the keyboard goes back to normal letters, but I would like to keep the numb lock on and be able to type jkl and get jkl displayed as I have always done for the past 2 years. I am assuming I accidentally hit a ctrl or fn key... To clarify I have a laptop with the tradional keyboard and to the right of the enter key have the number pad as well that is activated with the num lock key.

Your num lock is on. Turn it off :)
