Function keys

[priyaseht]

Hello,
when i press F1.2.3.4.... the functions like brightness/dull/mute,etc occur. whereas if i want to use shortcuts for F1,2,3 (like spell check in excel for shift +F7), i need to use fn key+F1/2/3....
can i inter replace this function?

Hi there, don't u have FN key? That is for the other function, like F1 ...

If this is a laptop, there might be a setting in the BIOS to fix this. I know on my Dell, I had to set a setting to make the F keys act normally.

Hp, windows 7. dont want to toy with BIOS settings as it can disrupt my files

Changing that setting in the BIOS won't disrupt your files. Again, that's the only way to fix that issue.
