Laptops usually have a function key on the keyboard...holding this key down and hitting another key is what you usually need to do....look at your keyboard and you should see some keys have pictures on them (like the brightness key might be a sun or something)....just hold down the function key and hit this key a few times to see if it helps However, I gotta tell ya that I haven't seen a laptop screen yet that is very viewable in the sun :-( (actually, even a regular desktop monitor doesn't look real good when the sun's shining on it) Good luck Linda Publisher ~ ABC ~ All 'Bout Computers Owner ~ Linda's Computer Stop http://personal-computer-tutor.com FREE MS Office eBook Tutorial http://personal-computer-tutor.com/library.htm -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Allen Hall Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2002 11:30 PM To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Brighten laptop screen How do I brighten the screen display on a laptop so that I can view it outdoors.
