You might check the manual as it sounds like you have activated the keypad
option from you function key.

Subject: SOFT: Windows XP Pro "Some" Key Pad Keys give Different Characters
This is a question for you gurus!!! My wife's notebook has started
exhibiting a very strange behavior. In ALL applications..Notepad, Browser,
Word, etc. when the following letters are struck on the keyboard, the
following numbers and character results:
i gives 5 (the number)
j gives 1
k gives 2
l gives 3
m gives 0 (zero)
o gives 6
p gives *
and u gives 4
All other keyboard keys give the correct character or number.
When I hit 1, 2, 3, 0, 6, * and 4 on the key pad the same character/number
is produced, so the problem is only when letters are entered.
This is 100% repeatable behavior. It started 2 days ago. The PC has been
rebooted many times and the problem persists.
Does anyone have a suggestion. It is a notebook computer. Lots of RAM,
lots of free HD space, XP Pro is fully updated.
