Default Laptop Keyboard Problems

Just got myself a brand new work laptop

Been using it fine all day (via docking station and external usb keyboard / mouse),

However just got home, and the keys you press on the keyboard dont always relate to the letters on the screen lol,

It seems everything to the right of the u / j / m key has turned to numbers.



I've checked the languages and that all looks ok (set to UK), and i cant find anything else which dont look right,

Where do i find the keyboard layout on XP ?

Any idea's, as im getting really frustrated :@
