I'm Stumped: Laptop function key stuck on...

On my Toshiba laptop on my wife’s account (XP Professional), the function key is stuck on. this means that whenever I type jkl, I get 123. Pgup becomes home. F5 tries to switch to a projector. If I hold down the function key (similar to shift or control key, I say this in the event that the function key is only a feature of this laptop, my old HP laptop did not have a function key) the keys function normally. This is not a hardware problem as my account on this computer is normal. I have checked sticky keys, toggle keys and filter keys and they are all off.

I don’t know where else to check.

Can I doper smarter than me help out?

Have you tried Fn + Num Lock?
Sometimes there are some vendor-specific settings that controls these things. Have any of those?

That sounds more like the NumLock key than the function key to me. Are you sure NumLock isn’t on?

You are the exact person I was trying to reach when I asked for help from someone more intelligent than me. THANKS!!!
Thanks also Bagistan.

Yeesh, I am such an idiot.
