Some stupid Microsoft keyboards have an "F-lock" button that you have to press before the F-keys work yes. Another possibility. | |

Yup. And if it's turned off, you can't use a USB keyboard to turn it on, which is a pain in the arse. | |

weird, if it dont work in dos then it shouldnt work in windows as windows goes through dos initially and runs over the top of dos as a front end. | |
