[QUOTE="K515, post: 883488, member: 109951"] I solved this problem yesterday evening. Through a lot half the night before yesterday and all day yesterday until yesterday evening - I found the answer on another mac (not the one where I'm a member). This answer said to R-click the bootcamp icon in the windows xp taskbar, go to preferences > keyboard > checkmark the "enable use of the "F" keys as windows standard function keys". After I did this, I tested the solution by using XnView to take a couple of screenshots of my windows xp desktop using just the F10 key, and it worked! Previously I had to press the "Fn" key plus the F10 key when using XnView to take screenshots. This bothered me since I'm planning on playing games on my windows side and using XnView to take multiple screenshots during gameplay for the entire length of the games while keeping one hand/finger on a game's action key/mouse button while pressing the screenshot hotkey with my left index finger.
