Laptop keyboard keys reassigned... HELP!

I turned my laptop on yesterday, everything was as normal. I opened up AIM and started typing a message, and low and behold, when I wanted to type"whattup" it came out as "whatt4*." I started checking other keys, and basically the right hand keys are reassigned as numbers or symbols. I have no idea what happened. My laptop has been sitting in a dry cove by my bed and has been working wonderfully for as long as I can remember. Then all of a sudden, this. Any ideas on what I can do???
 
LOL 🙂 Num lock it was! I'm actually quite saavy with computers, believe it or not, but this idea never occured to me. Thanks a lot, problem solved. I knew I came to anandtech, again, for a reason.
 
you probably had a regular keyboard hooked up and had it turned on...I remember the first time I thought my laptop was messed up...
