I have used desktop computers for many years. Just recently, for the first time, I acquired a laptop, Compaq Presario V5030EA. Getting used to it a bit now. Yesterday I suddenly found that I could not enter any numbers, instead I was getting the other characters on the keys. EG, instead of 12345 I was getting !"£$% as though I had the shift key held down. I looked around the keyboard but could not see anything obvious that I might have pressed in error. There is a Caps Lock key, of course, but nothing like a Shift Lock. In the end I had to close down and restart the computer. Then all was well. Can anyone suggest what I might have done I have never come across anything like this before. And I don't want to cause it again.
