Default Can only type numbers

I've searched for this issue in other posts with no luck, so forgive me if this problem has been answered 5000 times and I missed it.

Whenever I try to play a DOS game, whether on DOSBOX or in WinXP, I can only type numbers. That is, whichever key I press, the game will interpret it as a digit. Furthermore, I can only type the digits in order (1234567890123 etc). If I use shift I can type !@#$%^&*(). For some of the games it's not a big problem, but it makes most of them unplayable.

And no, I have never experienced this issue outside of DOS games - my computer keyboard normally works fine. Any advice would be appreciated.
