Try holding down the function key as you use the f1 or 2 keys.
See if that helps.
It is not convenient, but at least you can use the function keys as you
normally would.
You may have to use the shift f10 as the applications key.

HPlaptop
I have a new HP laptop and I use either the right mouse button on the numb
pad or there is a double bar at the bottom of the keyboard under the
spacebar and the right side of that opens the context menu. I don't know if
you have the same extra bars on the keyboard you have. I still haven't
figured out how to make the FN key work with the row of F keys. I had 2
Asus machines and they were easier.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Getting the applications key working on new HP laptop
Hi all,
Just purchased a new HP laptop with no applications key. I tried the
function key and the f10 for the applications but still nothing happened, in
fact nothing is happening. I want to change the way the function key works
anyway because it is easier to use JAWS when the function key is for the
volume and tracks and the f keys are for what they normally should be. Can
anyone give pointers as to why I can't get anything to happen with the f
keys?
Thanks for any help.
Kurt
