I can log in to XP like normal on my laptop, but once I'm logged in the keys on the keyboard are all over the place. An M is an O a C is a 6. Anyone ever heard of this poblem and how to fix????

Try the NumLock Key. Or a combination with the Fn key.

Hi Andrena. Seems you have lost the regional setting on your keyboard. Go into Control Panel and click on "Regional and language". Check and make sure you are in the correct regional setting. If not alter it. good luck. Ferg

In my laptops the 10-key pad is embedded in the keyboard.

Check the status of Num Lock in the BIOS. It can be set to boot with it enabled.
