| 246184 | 2004-06-20 03:41:00 | Running windows XP Home edition and for some reason my functions keys only bring up internet websites instead of expected functions. Can't find a way to make a change to keyboard set up. Help please mervyn |

| 246185 | 2004-06-20 04:24:00 | Is it a "multimedia" keyboard? It might need a special driver, though I would have thought that such a clever keyboard should be made to behave like a simple one unless it has a driver installed. :D By the way, there is an HP multimedia keyboard which has a nasty habit of "calling home" frequently (costing money to people with limited fast connections). There is a patched driver available for that one. |

| 246186 | 2004-06-20 08:39:00 | Hi. It is an Acer multi media keyboard but the multi media functions do not work as I obviously don't have the right driver. However the function keys used to work as they were mean't to but me or the kids have apparently managed to change something. Any suggestions | Mervyn (824) | ||
| 246187 | 2004-06-20 09:44:00 | Try this click start/right click my computer/click properties then hardware then device manager then click the + sign beside keyboards and right click whatever shows up there and click uninstall restart the computer and your keyboard will be reinstalled when windows restarts. hth. |

Go to Control Panel/Languages and somewhere in there is a setting for keyboards. |

| 246190 | 2004-06-24 10:03:00 | Thanks for your help but the keyboard just automatically installs itself with the same problem ...... | syd19 (5786) | ||
| 246191 | 2004-06-24 10:11:00 | Hi thanks for your help but went to Control Panel and the closest option to languages I could find was Regional and Language Options but nothing in there about keyboards? | syd19 (5786) | ||
| 246192 | 2004-06-24 10:14:00 | Thanks for your help but there is no Function Lock or similiar keys on the keyboard. | syd19 (5786) | ||
