F4 Function Key stopped working
I have a Compaq nc8430 business laptop and installed the drivers for an
ergonomic Microsoft keyboard. Since last week, I no longer able to use any of the Function keys. I tried several applications and it's the same on all of them. The porblem is experienced in both, the internal and external keyboard. I removed the Microsoft keyboard based on a knowledge based articled that referenced a possible conflict. In addition, I uninstalled the external keyboard drivers from my computer. However, I'm still not able to get the function keys to work. Technical Info: Windows XP Pro with Service Pack 2 I really depend on the F4 Function Key for many of my tasks within MS Excel. Any ideas? |

I tried that already and even updated my Bios per HP's recommendation... it
didn't work. I don't think the problem is hardware related. I was just thinking more of a registry issue.

Javier,
Is this a wireless or wired keyboard? It may not matter either way. I have a wireless ergonomic Microsoft KB & mouse, and each function key has a separate programable function. But it requiers the F-Lock to be enabled/disabled in order to use, just like the num lock or caps lock works. If I remeber correctly, the F-Lock key is in the top right corner of the keyboard all by its lonesome. On my wireless reciever, there are 3 LED's: Caps Lock, Num Lock, & F-Lock. If yours has this F-Lock functionality, try toggling the F-Lock to see if you can get it to work. HTH, Conan "Javier" wrote in message ...
