Changing assignation of "END" key?

[Guest]

Hi there.

Apologies if this is in the wrong newsgroup - and if it is, can you
direct me to a more appropriate group please?

I've recently moved to a new laptop, a Toshiba Equium, and to activate
the "END" function (for instance when editing a Text Document) I have
to press the "FN" key and the "PG DN" key simultaneously.

On every other PC I've ever had or used, the END key has always been
just a single keypress, and it's driving me mad. I've struggled with
two weeks and I'm just not adapting well....so my question:

Is it possible for me to re-assign another key to the END function so I
can do END with a single keypress again?

I might be barking up completely the wrong tree, but at least I'll know
one way or the other.....hopefully!

Thanks in advance for all advice

John Stilwell.

Many thanks, Richard. Ah well, never mind. I'll just have to knuckle
down and learn to live with it.

The physical limitations of a laptop computer supersede anything that is in
Windows XP. The hardware/driver combination will prevail. If your
instruction manual and the Toshiba website don't tell you if this can be
done, it probably can't be done. Remember, you are NOT using a 101 key
keyboard - the desktop standard.
