| 1365235 | 2014-01-15 17:35:00 | i have a windows 7 . my kids were playing with my laptop and now i cant use any of the ctrl, shift, alt or fn shortcuts. when i press fn it opens my computer window. i have tried reinstaling launch manager, changing region in input, restoring the system to a date when it was working fine, pressing all the shortcuts from before to try to unlock fn, it was a fail in the end.when i open the on screen keyboard it doesnt match up with my key layout at all. i m really running out of ideas. can anyone help me please thank you |

| 1365237 | 2014-01-15 20:20:00 | that was one of the first things i looked in. i even tried changing regions on purpose to see if it has any effect , nothing. tried making a new user account for windows to see if it would make any difference , nothing. i connected an usb keyboard and it works just fine , but that doesnt have a fn key on it . any more ideas because i m drawing a blank here | miodrag (17223) | ||
