  Good evening,


  This isn't, as far as I know, default Windows 7 behaviour.  Have you contact 
HP to ask about this.  It is likely something to do with the software for their 
built-in keyboard.

    Hi all,

    Sorry to bother you with this but, I can't come up with the right 
combination of words in Google to get an answer.

    I just bought a HP Netbook running Windows 7.  The function keys have their 
default behaviour as some kind of function keys.  So, in order to use the 
insert key, I have to hold down the function key and insert.  I would like to 
have that row work at natively meant.  For example, I would like to push [f1] 
and have it perform the default [f1] behaviour without having to hold the 
function key.

    Anybody know how to fix this?  I have fixed this on my Mac but, I have no 
idea where to go in Windows.

    Thx,
    Jeff
