You have your Numlock turned on. You just need to turn it off. It is usually a combination of the Function key and some other key on the keyboard; look for a key with "Numlock" on it.

No thats not it. If numlock was on it would happen with all keys. Thanks anyway. I reckon the keyboard is faulty

That number pad inside the keyboard is controlled by the 'Fn' key. Make sure there is no Function Lock enabled, or the key isn't stuck down.

Your numlock *IS* on............
M = 0 J, K, L = 1, 2, 3 U, I, O = 4, 5, 6 7, 8, 9 = 7, 8, 9 P = * 0 = / ; = - / = + NO other keys will be affected. Your European keyboard may be slightly different for the /, *, -, and + keys. |
