On my Dell Inspiron 2650 laptop (WinXP Pro SP1), some of the keys have a
third key option to the side, that is used when the Fn (function) key is
also depressed. For instance, the 0 (zero) key prints a zero normally, a )
(closed parenthesis) when the Shift key is also depressed, and * when the
Fn key is also depressed.
On my main user account (power user) and on the default Administrator
account, this is functioning properly, but on another admin account, it
acts as if the Fn key is always depressed. With the above example, the *
is used unless the Fn key is also depressed.
How can this be corrected? Rebooting makes no difference. Disabling Fast
User Switching makes no difference.
