Guest FubarFkeys Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Where or how in XP do I get back control of my Function keys? Microsoft Ergonomic 4000 keyboard appears to have disabled my function keys in all applications. Example F2 don't edit in Excel, F3 won't "find next" in adobe reader. etc, etc. I removed the Intellipoint program that gives advanced keybaord control. That did not fix it. Suggestion please.
Guest John John (MVP) Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Re: Function keys disabled - all apps Check for an F-Lock button on the keyboard.

Guest Richard Lewis Haggard Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Re: Function keys disabled - all apps One of the more puzzling decisions on the part of the keyboard people at Microsoft was to default at startup to have the function keys to have a meaning that is only applicable to certain applications. You must always hit the function key to return to a more useful configuration. It is for this reason that I no longer purchase Microsoft keyboards. Logitech keyboard, on the other hand, default to normal Function key mode. That in addition to the nice touch that Logitech has convinced me to dump all Microsoft mouse and keyboard products for the foreseeable future. -- Richard Lewis Haggard General: http://www.Haggard-And-Associates.com Please come visit here for thousands of good giggles!: http://www.haggard-and-associates.com/Humor/humor.htm "John John (MVP)" <audetweld@nbnet.nb.ca> wrote in message news:OzrEGgf2IHA.4852@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Check for an F-Lock button on the keyboard. > > John > > FubarFkeys wrote: > >> Where or how in XP do I get back control of my Function keys?
