My computer has just gone totally tits up.

It was working fine then all of a sudden the keys I pressed on the the right side of the keyboard just came up with totally the wrong characters.

For example if I type i, the number 5 appears and if i type o the number 2 appears..

The left half of the keyboard works fine.

I don't think I pressed anything untoward but I might have.

Can anyone advise what I should do?

Thanks.

Turn off numlock.

Which would probably be the function key and the one with num lock written on it, but it's been so long since I've used a non mac laptop I couldn't tell you for sure.

Bingo.

I didn't know there was a numberlock key on my keyboard until now.

One day I'll have to find out what all those f keys do, I'm sure I'm missing out on alot!

Thanks guys.

Sigh I cant even read.

I wondered why Bongo was talking about numlock if you were pressing 5 and a 2 appeared.

Wasn't there a pretty big exploitable bug found in that?
