When I got a new laptop the first thing I did was switch the function key functions. :) The way to do this varies with the laptop manufacturer. For my HP laptop I had to enter BIOS and change the setting from Multimedia Key to Function Key. It was quick and painless. Some laptops have a function lock key combo that changes the behavior of the F keys. Others (like Dell, I think) can be changed in the Ease of Access settings (Windows Key+x). Here's an article on How to Geek.com about it: http://www.howtogeek.com/235351/how-to-choose-whether-your-function-keys-are-f1-f12-keys-or-special-keys/ To reassign function keys is a registry hack, but there are utilities than can help with this. Note that if the issue is the above, you won't need to hack anything. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/map-any-key-to-any-key-on-windows-xp-vista/ Patti
