Eric, ok--well, u don't specify what kind of laptop you've got, so I can't give a lot more detailed instructions, except to say the following: 1) Most laptops have a "function" key, often designated as fn, generally right next to the control key. Hold that down & press f6. 2) Some laptops have means by which this constant pressing of the function key can be avoided. On mine, for example, when I press the fn & esc keys simultaneously, I can now use my function keys normally, w/o the need of holding down the fn key. I have to do this at the start of each windows session, but at least I only have to do it once. HP is noted for putting this option in bios, which is inaccessible to us.
