Hi Everybody,
While 'add/removing' programs, I removed a 'shortcut' application and now my
(blue keyboard keys) "Fn" + 'mute/volume -/volume +/screen dimmer/screen
darkener' keys no longer function.
As I was trying to rid my OS of any programs that might be related to a
number of trojans and malware I am afflicted with, and as I didn't readily
find any info on the 'shortcut' program, I carelessly removed it.
Of note it seems some of the other blue shortcut keys still work, as at
least the 'scroll lock' one still activates its indicator light. Maybe even
the F7, F12, Pause and Break shortcuts work as well, but I don't know what
they're for and haven't tried them.
Not knowing how to restore the shortcut program and since my XP Home came
already installed and I don't have the XP Home CD, I'm hoping that either
using add new prgrams/windows components might restore the shortcut program,
etc.
Regards,
'Stupid' Steven
