CoH must not like my keyboard anymore.

I admit that this suggestion is somewhat out in left field, but: on my ASUS laptop, the trackpad interferes with the keyboard driver. The behavior is not as extreme as what you've described (and for me, it's in multiple applications, not just CoH) but since you said it was an ASUS: What happens if you turn off the built-in pointing-device in the bios? (assuming that's an option on yours; it's an option on mine).
Alternately, on my previous laptop which didn't have an actual num-pad, there was a key combo on the keyboard where I could force/fake a numpad instead of letter keys on part of the keyboard. I wouldn't expect that to be the case here (or the 'w' would come out '8', not '1') but in case that's what's happening, see if you have some option to tun that off -- some laptops do that sort of thing if you hold down the Fn key & hit num-lock or ScrLk. (why this would have toggled during a system upgrade, I dunno.)

I have seen this behaviour on laptops without a builtin side numpad before. Where the "makeshift Num Pad" defaults to "on" which makes almost 1/3 of your keyboard respond in numbers and different mathematical notations instead of the proper letter/character. Look for a why to toggle off your numpad in the laptop. Could be what Sevoo suggested, or it could be a stand alone "NumPad' key or anything else. Just look around your keyboard there should be a way to turn it off.

Today I logged in and using my keyboard I couldn't move except the arrow keys. I checked the settings, and they are still set at q,w,e,a,s,d,x,r. When I tried to make sure they were set correct I went to options under the settings and hitting the "w" key it registered as "1". then I hit several letter keys and they all were registering as numbers. I didn't save the changes. Then I logged out and logged in with another toon and they were all the same. Outside the game the keyboard is working fine. Any suggestions?

Did you by chance install any new security software from Comcast/Xfinity? They are now offering an expanded suite of features that includes something to combat Keylogger programs. However, it borks the CoH keybinds ( the program reads numbers instead of letters when you press the keys). Uninstalling the new program solved my issue.

This sounds like what I need to change. I know I'm going to sound stupid but Where do I find where it's downloaded?
