fujitsu siemens amilo laptop keyboard settings?

Does anyone know why my keyboard will show different characters on the screen to those typed in, (ie: it shows * instead of O). It was fine until early this week. Have I inadvertantly changed the keyboard settings and how do I rest it?
Thanks in advance.

I luckily came across this page.hey guys I'm so happy,I had this problem that when I pressed ( i ) I got 5, pressed( o ) I got 6 and so on
i = 5
o =6
u = 4
i had to always press the 'fn' button, to change it to lettering, but when I applied the
'' press Fn key and insert/num key at the same time '' according to Baton and Derek, the problem was gone. Thank you so much and remain blessed. Chilongo.

Not really an answer, more a thank you. I had the same problem, came across this thread and thought I'd test the FN / INSERT / NUM method. It worked - magic! Thank you for the great advice "baton"

i understand sir;
but the FUJITSU FMV-7160NU3 have a keyboard layout
like japani or chines;
if i press a then 1a;
if press fn then a;
if press wTHEN search operation open;
if press g then gh open;
if press m then O or if use numlock then mo OPEN;
some keys like a,b,c,d working properly but most providing results those enclose near on the keys;
keypad showing results thats are on also shown on keys except of real uk english keypad

check your settings in regards to REGIONAL and LANGUAGE which is in the CONTOL PANEL,
i think you may have changed your settings for your keyboard to US instead of UK
