When I depress caps lock, it shows as "on" but now everything types in lower case. The numbers still show as !@#$ even when I do this. It appears the keyboard configuration was changed, but I have no idea how it was changed or how to change it back. Thank you for your help.

have you tried a different keyboard?
yup. possible sticky shifty key thing. un stick it
I had the same problem sorta,
everytime I started my computer it dropped to bios.
I've basically never (22 years) had a problem I couldn't solve myself until I came across this one.
I had to take my computer in.
under 1 minute they switched my keyboard and charged me 35$
30 for labor 5 for a new keyboard
I was pissed.
good luck

Your shift key is stuck.
Press it a couple of times and see if it helps. If you press it five times in a row sticky keys will apply read the box before you select OK.
Use some rubbing alcohol and a Q Tip and clean around your Shift Keys.

look for the Fn button and Numlock ...hold Fn down and press the numlock .....the other thing is regional settings in the control panel but i doubt you would have changed it there
