Stop holding down the FN key.

And turn off the Fn lock.

OK thanks for the help, that has fixed it. What exactly is the Fn key for, I can't see what use it has.

look on the function keys (F1-F12), there are usually little brightly colored symbols on them for brightness, volume, mute, sleep, etc. the fn key/lock also enables the 10-key "problem" you encountered.

To add to what smoore said, what you encountered was the way of dealing with the lack of a number pad on a laptop. It's a way to still have the same functionality without the extra keys.
