You probably didn't. Here's an MS MVP's description of the issue: "The F Lock key on the Microsoft Keyboards is a relatively new concept facility for Microsoft Keyboards. Introduced with the Microsoft Office Keyboard and used in later keyboards, it essentially allows keys to do have more than one operation. The F Lock key, depending on its state, will allow either a function key's "normal" operation or a new "enhanced" operation. The initial state of the F Lock key is "off", and in this state, the function keys use their "enhanced" operation. "The F Lock key is a hardware switch in the keyboard. Its state cannot be controlled programmatically. Its default condition is "off". As a result, whenever the keyboard is reset, or loses power, the F Lock key will always be in an "off" state. Do note that with the Microsoft keyboards released after September 2004, the keyboard will retain F Lock status through a reboot."

Or go to http://www.heavy-horse.com/Download/F_Lock/F_Lock.html for a free utility that fixes it. HTH! Richard ------ Richard G.
