I use Windows 7. When I first got this laptop the Fn key would work with other keys (such as brightness), but not change the volume. The place I bought it from had someone fix it, only I've moved away since then. It's been working for about three months now and all of a sudden I'm having the same problem again. I've tried going to the msconfig and looking through the startup, but everything is checked. 

This is a very frustrating problem for me, the sooner it's fixed the better. 

 

- Also! I'm terrible with directions, so if you could be very clear and step by step, that'd be nice.

    Hi,

     

    The function keys are controlled by the launch manager application.

    You may try re-installing the launch manager application Download launch manager application

    Thanks! I think I actually just needed to uninstall whatever launch manager I already had, 'cause once I did that the fn key worked again. Wouldn't have figured that out without your help though, haha. : )
