not always, here below is the other possible method of fixing this *sigh*:
It's probably because the function keys are set to multi-media. My new
laptop was that way too. I went into the control panel and found something
called windows mobility center. In there among other settings was a way to
change the function keys from multi-media to normal behavior. Look around

You will need to change that in the bios. You'll need sighted help with
doing it.
My suggestion is to have someone sighted with you and call HP tech support
and let them walk you through on how to make the change.

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
