Laptop "numbers Lock" Problem

[countrykid]

For some reason on my recently bought Toshiba Laptop running Windows 8.1, the numbers lock button works back to front. When switched on and the button light is on, the numbers keypad does not type numbers, but instead eack key performs a function such as backspace, Home, End etc. With Numbers Lock switched off it does type numbers. Anyone know why? ok so I can still use my pc, but just want to "fix" this little quirk if I can. Cap lock works as it should, producing upper case with the light lit. Thanks

Have you checked to see if you have the right keyboard installed for where you live as it is vital you do this.

Thanks for your answer Galeck1947 and sorry only just getting back to you. I'm not sure how I check which country my keyboard is set up for. It's really odd, sometimes when I switch the laptop on, the numbers work as they should, then at other times each number performs other functions as described earlier. Would love to solve the mystery but looks like one of those things I have to live with - reboot the pc and all ok etc

Many thanks Buenchico. I've just checked and English United Kingdom is set as the default Language. For whatever reason, the last few days has seeen the laptop number keypad working ok.
