I am using a Dell Inspiron Laptop with preloaded Windows 8. For a long time, whenever I used the brightness buttons, the desktop brightness would decrease or increase. Also the backlit keyboard would turn on and off with the backlit button. Now, when I click the brightness decrease button, my laptop turns the website I am using to fullscreen. The brightness increase button opens up the website's HTML code or something like that. And the backlit button just doesn't do anything.. However they all work with the Fn key. I want them to respond without the Fn key, like before. Any suggestions??
 
Solution
Never mind, I found a solution...
1. Click "Start", type "Windows Mobility Center" and press enter.
2. In the Windows Mobility Center window, please locate "Function Key Row".
3. Click drop down arrow next to "Function Key Row" and then select "Multimedia Key"
