The solution to my problem was in the Windows Mobility Centre. There was an option here to change the function key settings. My function keys work fine now. Thanks for your suggestion. Geetha

I am using Dell mini1012 and the application is installed in my system by default. So when the option "Use the F1-F12 keys to control software features" is checked, the normal f1-f12 functions can be performed without the FN key and the FN key is required to access the Dell f1-f12 functionalities. And vice versa if the above option is unchecked. If the application is not there in the system, you may think of downloading/installing it from the Dell technical Support page. Though I am not at all familiar with the specifications of your system, I still feel the issue is related to the above mentioned application on the basis of your description. Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Geetha Shamanna" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, May 29, 2011 2:55 PM Subject: Re: [AI] Strange problem > Hi Pranav and all, > > This appears to be a Windows/laptop-specific problem rather than a Jaws > one.
