Arrow Keys cause numbers to print repeatedly
Hi,
I have a Toshiba A135 Satellite and I have run into a rather bizzare problem with the arrow keys. As I use them, whether playing a game or to navigate a document, they will begin to print numbers rather than scroll. I will be pressing a key and it will stop functioning correctly, and begin to print a number. I have no idea what might cause this. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Re: Arrow Keys cause numbers to print repeatedly
What happens if you press the number lock key? You may need to use that in conjunction with a Fn key.

Re: Arrow Keys cause numbers to print repeatedly
You may want to use e.g. numlockx if numlock is not activated at startup.
