[QUOTE="fdsafdsa, post: 715653, member: 65505"] I'm using a Windows XP pro OS on my Macbook. Up until recently I was able to control the brightness and volume using the F1-F5 keys. Now all of a sudden, those buttons do completely different things. F1 now opens some help window. F2 renames files and folders. F3 opens the search window. F4 opens address bars. F5 refreshes windows. I never use F6 and up. I tried using the fn key, but that doesn't work either. Another thing I tried was going to the [I]Boot Camp Control Panel [/I]in the computer's [I]Control Panel[/I]. I selected the keyboard tab and checked/unchecked the "use the F1-F12 keys" option. But that didn't work either. I want to be able to control the brightness/volume using those F keys. What should I do? Can someone please help? [/QUOTE]
