How can I get function keys (volume, brightness) to work in Bootcamp?

I have a MacbookPro purchased in June of 2011 and installed Bootcamp to play certain games that only work on Windows. The only problem is that my volume and brightness keys don't function, which is incredibly hard to work with in a full screen video game.
I need a straight forward solution to this problem, I have searched endlessly for an answer and nobody gives an easy-to-understand answer. Thanks!

I believe it's in the BootCamp settings. There should be an option to enable the functions of the buttons rather than as F keys. Click the icon on the taskbar notification area, and go to Boot Camp Settings I think it is named. Also check and make sure sure keyboard doesn't use an F-Lock button if you are on an external keyboard.

  • How can I get my mac email account to work?

    How can I get my mac email account to work?

    That requires you to enter the configuration correctly.  You can find out the configuration for your email from your ISPs website in most cases. Or if you're using Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail you need only Google something like:
    "Gmail configuration for Apple Mail"  or  "Hotmail configuration for Apple Mail" (without the quotes). 
    That should get you started..

  • I REALLY hate the page up/page down functions that automatically loaded with the program. I LIKE to use my page up/page down keys for web browsing. How can I get these keys to work properly, or any of the keys to work "normally" as I have in the past?

    When using certain keys on my keyboard, they don't work like they are "intended" to be used. I HATE how Firefox has changed those functions without my request. How can I get my keyboard to function as it "should"?
    Thank you.

You tried to execute a query where the specified expression field3 is not part of an aggragate function I set the Form variables to: Name                            Default Value        RunTime Value Search_Criteria                    1                    Request.Form("Search") Date1                                  1                    Request.Form("Date1") Date2                                  1                    Request.Form("Date2") Code1. This works fine SELECT Field3, Field10, SUM(Field16) as SumofField16 FROM CustomerHistory_CP WHERE Field3 LIKE '%Search_Criteria%' AND Field6 >= #1/2/09# AND Field6 <= #1/30/09#  GROUP BY Field3, Field10 Code2. I get error message SELECT Field3, Field10, SUM(Field16) as SumofField16 FROM CustomerHistory_CP WHERE Field3 LIKE '%Search_Criteria%' AND Field6 >= #Date1# AND Field6 <= #Date2#  GROUP BY Field3, Field10

  • How do I get my down volume button to work

    How do I get my down volume button to work

    there is a couple of options
    1. have you checked that you change with bottens is on so if you go into settings and go to sounds its just under there.
    2. you can slide up from the bottom of the screen and adjust there
    and if they dont work ring apple and book an appiontment and they will just replace it well thats what they did with mine. and the problem was with mine was the insides of my phones where it reads the bottons were not working so they replaced with a brand new phone. becouse i had the same problem with my iphone and did the above and got annoyed doing the slide up bar to adjust all the time. hope this helps

  • How can I program function keys?

    I want to program function keys to launch and shut down programs that I frequently use. How do I go about doing this? Thanks

    Probably not doable since keyboard shortcuts are application task specific. Why not just use the Dock? Single-click launches any app mounted on it. CMD+Q quits any.
