I have a new Hp laptop running Windows 7. The keyboard is not a full one and
there is a Fn key. Irritatingly so, the tab key is not in its usual line but
is one to the right. If I press what I thought was tab then I get Windows Live
Mail opening. I find that for example if I want to close a window with Alt+F4
I also have to press Fn key. This is a little tedious to say the least! I can
live with it if I must but I am wondering if perhaps there is a way of fixing
it so that I do not have to press that Fn key everytime I want say a Function
key combination or a Function key on its own. Those of you with a mobile phone
with a qwerty keypad for example will be aware of a Fn key. This Fn key if
pressed twice will say allow the writing of numbers. Pressed again and one
goes back to alphabetic. I am wondering if it might be similar on the laptop.
I am certainly having problems when I tab around as I am not finding edit boxes
to input text. Obviously can suss this when I have a sighted person around but
any ideas much appreciated from all you experts. Many thanks.
Eleanor
