Different keyboard in windows 7
My laptop came already implemented. the keyboard acts differently. F5 on a Web page that is used to refresh the page, now it does nothing. ALT f4 would close a window, which does nothing. CTRL o, p, s, c, v, z, x, n etc everything still works, it's just the keys f. they have their own orders like f2 is brightness down, f3 brightness upward. If I press on them their own, they function.
How f5 to rework, alt f4 to work?
Thank you
It's a choice of material. I bet that your laptop has a Fn-Lock or Function_Lock keys that will help you to lock the keys F1 - F12 in the "how" instead of the brightness and stuff.
Windows cannot control this, only the hardware can, if you need to find the key that it controls. If your software included computer manufacturer driver, there may be options in this software.
Sometimes, the key is color-coded:

My OS is Windows Vista. Whenever I get an update for Windows mail, going through the installation process it stops and gives me a message, "you have a different flavor of Windows Mail installed. Installation cannot be completed. "Should I uninstall Windows Mail and re - install (if so, how?) or do something else?
Which tells you that this error is that you already have an improved version, but you can use uninstall a program from your control panel or by cheque in programs and features.
I think that you will search the windows live essentials 2011.
You may still need to change the way you receive updates recommended by microsoft,
They install allocate optional updates of windows in this setting.
But at this point, I'm not sure if your use of webmail or live messaging software essentials 2011 updated?
You indicate that you want to upgrade? TO?
One thing you should know Messenger sees some problems so the upgrade is not a good idea right now, and if you are using ie 9 it's really going to be more trouble that it's worth.

Japanese keyboard on windows 7 ultimate (Hiragana)
with the Japanese keyboard on windows 7 ultimate, there you in katakana of default type. It's incredibly boring, katakana is almost worthless when it comes to Japanese words how can I switch to write in hiragana? IT IS NOT Microsoft IME no please do not post solutions for EMI or tell me to use IME in romanji are even more useless because it is a major crutch and even a barrier to learning the language.
Hello
I suggest you go through the steps and check.
Keyboard shortcuts
ALT-~ (tilde): Cycles between kana and direct entry mode
ALT - SHIFT: Travels of available languages
ALT-CAPS_LOCK: Past in katakana input mode
CTRL-CAPS_LOCK: Past in hiragana input mode
SHIFT - ALT: Allows you to switch between English and Japanese.
Control - ~: Switches between the current entry mode and the English mode within the Japanese IME.TIP: It is tedious to switch between input mode Hiragana and direct entry through the language bar. Instead, you can switch by pressing Alt + Tilde (key below ESC on your keyboard). So, if you need to type Japanese, press Alt + Tilde and start typing. When you are done press Alt + Tilde again to revert to English. To get the same result in Japanese mode, press Control - ~.

ToggleKeys IME Japanese hiragana?
