It MAY??? be that the Numlock "NUmLK" key is ON and the embedded key pad has been turned on.

It's the scroll lock ...there is a key sequence to turn that off on some laptops...is this an IBM? are there keys that have a letter and a smaller character on them? When you hold down the shift key does and press the key does it type correctly?

You can try restarting the computer and see if that helps.
You can also go to "www.pcpitstop.com" and have them test your computer for free and anonymously if you'd like. they do have some quick fixes and help.
Also,the on screen key board is under start/accessories/ accessibility.
