338936 2005-03-29 01:48:00 I have a Toshiba Satellite A10 notebook (model number PSA10A-012NHP) running WinXP sp2 I have found out that the function key is not working, it used to before I put sp2 now it won't. The obvious conculsion is that sp2 has done something to stop this from working. My question is how can I get the function key working again without uninstalling sp2 (as I have heard that this can cause more problems).
Cheers

338939 2005-03-29 04:54:00 I take it that you don't mean the row of F1, F2... function keys, but the laptop-specific function key which enables extra functions from some keys like brightness/contrast, internal/external monitor ... etc.

These are really "hardware" operations so shouldn't be affected (or even noticed) by the OS. But "things" happen. ;)

The motherboard drivers should handle this. Of course whether you can get them from a recovery CD without "restoring the computer to its original state" is another question. Have a look on the Cd, and if it doesn't look encouraging, try a Google search, or maybe the Toshiba home site.
