My function keys do not work, how do I activate the /?
I need to use the function for my work and it doesn't work, I had to go back to the wired keyboard. Any ideas?
Hi gstamm49,
1. you remember to make changes to the computer, after which the issue started?
2. What is the number of brand and model of the keyboard in question?
3. the same keyboard works fine on another computer?
If you use Microsoft Keyboard, then I suggest you try the steps from the following links in the article and see if it helps:
Troubleshoot wired keyboards that do not or only the erroneous characters category
Troubleshoot the incidents of the response to the mouse or wireless keyboard
I hope this helps.

Satellite A350-13 a - function keys does not work
I have the Satellite A350-13. I installed Windows 7 for 2 weeks.
The function keys does not work although I have installed the Toshiba value added package, which is responsible for the activation of the function keys.
What the solution to this problem?
> Function keys does not work although I have installed the toshiba value added package, which is responsible for the activation of the function keys
Next to the VAP (value added package) you need to install the Flash Utility card support!
Card Flash utility support controls the keys FN and not the VAP! But VAP is also needed.Good bye

I have a laptop two months of j020dx m7 Touchsmart from HP Envy Windows 8.1 running old. My problem is that the F1 through F12 function keys do not work. Functions void such as the brightness of the screen, the volume of the speaker, WiFi, etc. work (without having to press the "fn" key). But in programs that use the F1 - F12 function keys, that they do not work. Pressing one keys activates the Sub-function all the time. A possible solution to push the F10 or F2 key has produced this problem on this forum (don't remember who now) to enter the BIOS at startup settings. Here, I should be able to enable or disable the feature keys. But there is a catch 22 because pushing the F2 key at startup reduces the brightness of the screen which is what I call the Sub-function and not him F2 function. I thought that the right way for the function keys work is to push F1 to F12 when it is asked in a program and when you want the Sub-function such as brightness, wifi on or off, dimming etc., press the "fn" key and the corresponding function key. I noticed a Toshiba computer Windows 8 is the same thing. What is a Windows problem or a hardware problem. Anyway, what is the solution?

Hello

My function keys do not work. I can't even the keyboard of virtual function down most of the time. Can someone give me some ideas as to what could be the problem?
Because you forgot to tell us something on your computer, I can only speculate. First of all:
The first Question of troubleshooting: If the problem is new, what has changed between the time things worked and the time they do not have?
1. I guess it's a laptop, but of course I could be wrong. If my CrystalBall (tm) was cloudy and it comes to a desktop computer, try another keyboard.
2 reinstall the keyboard drivers. If it is a laptop, you can find them in the computer Web site portable mftr.. Some manufacturers have specialized keyboard like QuickLaunch from HP and Dell Quick Set software that affects the function FN. Make sure that all of the utilities that are installed.
3. maybe you have a keyboard with the lock function? Is Numlock on? This does not usually affect the FN keys, but it's worth a mention.
4. If drivers/utilities are up-to-date, and it is a laptop, connect a USB external keyboard. If the problem disappears, with the computer laptop mftr. for a replacement keyboard.
If this doesn't help not or you have any other questions:

Hello:
The Intel HD graphics card appears under the category of display cards in Device Manager or a Standard VGA adapter is displayed.
Normally when the brightness of the screen is stuck on max and you cannot change it,'re missing you the driver from the chipset, the graphics driver, or both.
Make sure that you have installed the Intel chipset installation and restart utility as well as the Intel HD graphics driver.

Laptop HP 15-R203tx: brightness (f2 and f3) function keys does NOT work
Model - HP laptop laptop 15-R203tx
OS - Windows 8.1 Pro 64-Bit
Graphics - Intel HD 5500 integrated
Dedicated NVIDIA GeForce 820 M
I updated the drivers for my also well-integrated dedicated graphics card but still my function keys f2 and f3 for brightness control does not work although all other keys work.
This PC comes with the BACK, but I started it with 8.1 Windows Pro 64-bit.
Hello
Well that does not explain why your f2/f3 keys do not work as you have only the Microsoft base driver installed - if the Intel driver has already been installed Ok, this may indicate a hardware problem.
What happens if you try to install the Intel HD 5500 driver directly from Intel - it's the 2nd file in the list on the following link.
If it installs Ok, reboot the laptop and let Windows fully load for a few minutes before checking it in.
Kind regards

On another PC I want to save my favorites, but my browser Firefox does not work how can I make the backup, before I reinstall Firefox.
Firefox cannot renew its tabs and now won't run and let me do a backupThis may be considered to be solve my problem.
I decided to uninstall the rogue program Firefox download and reinstall the same version (No. 8). I used Windows XP Add Remove programs who asked if I wanted to save the settings of Firefox until I uninstalled Firefox. I said yes and operated with the uninstall. I couldn't find a Firefox 8 so I went for the 12 version and installed on the laptop. This version 12 now works with all the passwords one favorite of the uninstalled 8.

Qosmio X 500-mode 'sleep' and function keys will not work
Hello guys!
I have two problems with my X 500. First of all, sleep mode does not work correctly. In fact, it does not at all. When I try to put the laptop into sleep mode, it simply stops, even if it seems as if it was in sleep mode. The problem occurred recently, and I had not installed updates from the driver or just anti-virus software before. The hibernation mode works very well.
The second problem is that some of the function keys do not (red below the power button). Namely the eco mode button, the mute button and multimedia button. This problem occurred a long time ago, and it is also likely to be due to any software installed. The other keys work fine.
Please, help me to solve these questions, if you know how. Thank you!
Hey Buddy,
How are you trying to access the bar in view? For example, you can access the standby mode if you press the FN + F3 key combination.
In addition, follow the instructions posted by Akuma. Try to reinstall the package of added value and a system restore if you have installed additional software to check what software is causing this problem.
