Yes, Vicki.
This is common on some HP laptops.
You Can disable that functionality and restore your function keys to normal
use by disabling "Action Keys Mode" in the BIOS...
Here is the document, that will help you with it...

Make sure to paste the link above, as it will probably wrap on more than one
line.
Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] problem with function keys on new laptopth
Hi,
I'm using JAWS 12 with Windows 7 64 bit on a new HP Pavilion laptop. The
function keys are not working with the insert key at all. JAWS is set to
use
the insert key, but the function keys on this computer are using the
default
settings for HP. Is there a way to change these function keys to get JAWS
to
perform correctly?
Thank you.
Vicki
