Hmm, you don't say what the laptop is, but this sounds kinda like one of my laptops where F5 and F6 have the brightness - and + markings, so if the "function lock" isn't activated I get those behaviors instead of the F5/F6 keys. Does your F4 have the brightness- marking? Is there some sort of "function lock" in the keyboard that selects whether to do F4 or brightness-? Philip Guenther
