Have you got any other software, like a hotkey manager or some
proprietary applications like what might be loaded on a dell or
gateway which does any keyboard mapping loaded?
Sometimes when memory goes bad, this kind of stuff can happen.
Sometimes when a bios gets corrupted, this can happen too, you'
ll need sighted help to reset that.
Window-eyes doesn't use a special keyboard driver like jaws does, but
I've seen it do this before, scramble the keys, can you load another
screen-reader, even narrator and test to see if it's window-eyes
doing it or just the computer in general when it's in windows/
If you were a dos user, I'd suggest booting with a floppy and seeing
if your function keys worked in dos, and that way we could identify
whether it was at the hardware or bios level, or whether it was a
higher level windows thing.
See, old technology still has a vital place for blind technicians 'grin'.
Try some of these things if you can and come back and let us know.

Hello friends,
For some strange reason, I have lost the use of my function keys. In
other words, when ever I try to close out of a given program by hitting
the alt f4 combination, WE says the letter f, and nothing happens. So the
only way I can now close out of any program is by hitting the alt key,
and arrowing up to the close dialog, and hitting enter. I thought that it
might have something to do with scripts, so I tried shutting scripts off,
but nothing changed. Any ideas for this odd behavior would be greatly
appreciated, running WE-7.1 and XP-home.
