| 245471 | 2004-06-18 04:47:00 | I have a M/S multimedia keyboard, and the function keys are controlled by an F-Lock key at the top right. This key is off at start up, and to date I have found no way of changing it so that it is always enabled at startup. It had me very confused when I was assembling the computer and I was getting no response when pressing F10 to Save and Exit from the BIOS configuration, as well as the problem wgeorgec was having with the F6 during Win XP installation. Once I discovered the F-Lock key, I was fine, but I had to remember to press it every time at startup. Cheers Miami |

Using the F6 should allow you to install a floppy with the drivers on it just as the install completes but before the reboot. It will then install the required drivers. I had the same problem with mine. In the end I got someone with a spare PATA drive to do the Windows install. Then set up the RAID0 drive and finally copy the Windows setup from the PATA to the SATA drives and then let it go. Once this was done it was fine. |

The new Microsoft keyboards act like this. You need to press the proper key to get the function keys to act as function keys or else they send out the wrong code. Has nothing to do with driver software at all. |
