Phil, The function key (labeled "fn") on your laptop is probably stuck. Tap It a few times and see what happens. <snip 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 PL] this is correct. These skis can be used instead of the numeric keypad. You do this by pressing the function key on the laptop. <Smile Pranav

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.
