OK, so what seems to be the problem? Can you describe what you are experiencing and what you expect instead?

Some numbers are showing as letters. In the picture I was going 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 0.

You could have said that in your first post instead of having to be prodded for that information. Since you posted this in the hardware section yet your thread title says it is a Windows problem, what exactly are you trying to find out?

How do I stop the numbers from changing to letters?

When does this happen, in every web browser? Writing in word documents? Just randomly or is it consistent? How long has this been going on? Have you made any hardware or software changes lately? Have you tried a different keyboard?

When does this happen, in every web browser?

I haven't tried in any other browser other than Firefox.

Writing in word documents?

No, but it happens in some websites such as pastebin.

Just randomly or is it consistent?

Consistent

How long has this been going on?

This has been going on for like 2 days.

Have you made any hardware or software changes lately?

No

Have you tried a different keyboard?

No, but I doubt changing keyboard is going to solve the problem.

Thank you 21 for all of that information. Even though I don't have any ideas right now you have provided enough information for one of the other Gurus to help you out.

So it only happening in Firefox?

I tried it in IE and the problem still happens.

Since this problem only started a couple of days ago, have you tried restoring your computer to a date before this problem started?

How do I do that?

Keyboards do go bad sometimes.

Unplug the keyboard, re-plug the keyboard. Re-boot. See if that fixes it.

See if another keyboard does the same. I keep a $5 keyboard around just for these types of issues.

And, if you want help, and someone asks for more information, please don't take it as a personal insult. We thrive on additional information.

I did all of that and the problem is still happening.

When you tried the other keyboard, did you use a different usb jack?

Check your Region settings. Search for intl.cpl on your computer and make sure everything is set correctly.
