Hi,

Its because your colleague has the numlock option turned on on the keyboard.

Turn it off. Depnding on the keyboard diff ways to turn it off i think.

Just click the numlock key & try typing. If that doesnt work, try
Shift+Numlock.

control panel - Regional; and language options - Languages tab - details -
setting tab
