Thanks Chris. With regard to your first suggestion, there is no mention of such
a button in
the manual though.
I had a look for something of the type you suggest in Control Panel yesterday
but with no
luck. Perhaps part of the trouble is my unfamiliarity with the Vista Control
Panel and its
enormous number of applets Still I will have another look today.
Of course I could resort to sticking a piece of cardboard over the buttons, but
I am sure that
it should be possible to disable them anyway. I still cannot understand why
FN + f9 does
not work on this machine.
Thanks for your help,
Douglas
