Keyboard problem; numbers keep appearing

I have a Dell laptop. On some keys there are white squares along with
a letter. Example; K has a white square with the number 2 inside the
square.

My problem is that I keep getting only numbers when I type; not
letters.

The problem occured when I was typing some keys radomly.

This is a common problem with laptops. Check to see if the NumLock key is on
or off. If it is on, turn it off. I recently had the same problem, trying to
log into WinXP on my laptop. I didn't realize it, but a recent BIOS
configuration change had caused my NumLock key to become active, and when
typing in "chobitsu" for my password, I was actually putting in "ch6b5ts4"
on my Dell laptop. After several bad password attempts, I usually type the
password into the username field, and copy and paste. That was when I
discovered the problem.

Hope this helps.
