Does it operate in that manner whether in Windows or DOS mode?
Check \Control Panel\Keyboard to make sure the correct keyboard type is set - a 102 key mapping will indeed make some keys act funny if it is applied to a 83 key keyboard.
Try alternate settings if you wish. Your mileage may vary...

Also check to esure that the device does not have a "HOT KEY" activated that would allow number pad use from the normal keyboard. If activated (Sometimes a CTRL + F Key or ALT + F Key) certain keys on the laptop will not behave as expected. Most laptops have a small light...or symbol...similar to the Caps Lock notification that will indicate hot key in use.
