Also make sure that your function keys are set to retain there traditional settings. Some new machines make the function keys perform functions specific to that machine such as turning the volume up and down, or turning wireless on and off. To use the function keys as you would normally use them, you would need to press the FN key. There is usually a setting in the BIOS setup that allows you to change that behavior so that the machine-specific function keys are accessed with the FN key but the regular function key assignments work as they always have.
