If it seems to be universal it was probably dictated to the manufacturers by Microsoft.

Thanks Dan! I went into the Toshiba settings, and found the Keyboard section and changed it to use the "F" keys!

I think there is an accessibility assistant program that sometimes you can change as well.

The "F" keys at the top all have other functions (like volume control), and to use them as actual "F" keys you have to also use the "function" key. So if I was using this laptop to F7/F8 through records in a table, I have to Function-F7... Not fun.... Every Toshiba up until now had it opposite, where you needed the "function" key to do the other task! So I'd look closely at the keyboard. Karen
