I finally got tired of having to put up with the function keys while using my keyboard on the laptop. When you love using the keyboard especially when playing games there’s a lot of repetition. I didn’t mind the F1 popping up a few times because I could click back to the application very quickly. Don’t get me wrong though, I didn’t like the help support window popping up on me. F2 and F3 were a little more annoying because it messed with the lightness and darkness of the screen. I had some tolerance as this was my new laptop we’re talking about.

The problem came when I needed the F12 key. I can’t have my internet connection disconnecting on me every time I hit the F12 key! The application I use requires the F12 key to take screenshots. Then I had to find a solution for this. I’m using a HP Pavilion g series notebook if anyone was interested. I don’t think this was a Windows 7 issue. The solution I went with is to restart the laptop and press F10 when the HP logo came up. Went into the system configuration and disabled the function keys. I’m sure you can get around it yourself with the arrow keys and enter button.

Anyway, this was a nightmare because I didn’t want another second of it. Now I can peacefully go on with my lovely life. Too bad I don’t get a certificate for solving my own problems. I’ll just give myself a pat on the back.
