How do I enable the blue function keys on an old Pavilion N5445 with Windows XP?

Yes, how do I enable the blue function keys on an old Pavilion N5445 with Windows XP?
The blue function keys currently do not work.
There is NO mention of the function keys (or even action keys) in the BIOS.
Let me repeat that so that nobody posts a stupid link to how to turn on the function keys in the BIOS. THIS IS AN OLDER LAPTOP.
There is NO mention of the function keys (or even action keys) in the BIOS.

Somehow the function keys got turned off. So I suspect there's a way to turn them on again.

  • How do I enable the Typewriter function in 9.3.0?

    I just uploaded 9.3.0 and now I cannot access the typewriter, page insertion/deletion functions, etc.  Under the Tools option, customize toolbars there is an asterisk next to the typewriter icon and it says only available when document rights are enabled. 

    In essence, you have been downgraded.
    If you had Acrobat to begin with, you should still have it.
    If you have Acrobat version 9.x or above, you can update it by opening Acrobat and using Help>Check for updates. If you have an older version of Acrobat (Version 8 or older), the upgrade isn't free so you'll need to go to the Adobe store and purchase it.

    Well, that's your problem, Amazon is not an authorized distributor of iPhones, & in most countries, the only place you can purchase an officially unlocked iPhone is directly from Apple...no where else.
    Further, most carriers will not authorize unlocking unless you are a current/former customer that used the phone on their network. Thus, there may be no way for you to get this phone officially unlocked.
    Return it for a refund.

  • How do I enable the GD library in OAS 10.1.2 ?

    I am running OAS 10.1.2 on HP UX 11i 64 bit.
    OAS 10.1.2 supports PHP, but the image function does not work. The imagecreate function gives the error:
    Call to undefined function: imagecreate()
    According to www.php.net, image functionality requires the GD library and one
    is bundled since PHP 4.3. OAS 10.1.2 has PHP 4.3.9 so I assume that GD is
    available.
    But how do I enable the GD library?
    Herman

    In php.ini look for extension_dir, make sure it points to somewhere that exists and then further down you will see Dynamic Modules set out a little like this...
    ;extension=php_gd2.dll (Windows)
    For installation (Quote from PHP Manual)...
    To enable GD-support configure PHP --with-gd[=DIR], where DIR is the GD base install directory. To use the recommended bundled version of the GD library (which was first bundled in PHP 4.3.0), use the configure option --with-gd. GD library requires libpng and libjpeg to compile.
    In Windows, you'll include the GD2 DLL php_gd2.dll as an extension in php.ini. The GD1 DLL php_gd.dll was removed in PHP 4.3.2. Also note that the preferred truecolor image functions, such as imagecreatetruecolor(), require GD2.

  • How do i change the Std. confirm key from 'AB' to 'Z1', receiving ACK IDOC.

    Hi,
    How do i change the Std. confirm key from 'AB' to 'Z1', when loading ACK IDOC.
    Thanks

    Hi Jorge,
    Thanks for your help.
    I change the output mode to "Collect IDocs" method, if I use SAP standard function POIM (RCCLMDAT), it will depend on change pointer to generate IDoc, and it includes function: RSEOUT00 ( and MASS_RSEOUT00 ) to collect and send IDoc.
    The collect table is BDCP.

  • How do I enable the rotate screen on iphone 4?

    How do I enable the rotate screen on my iphone4, I some how locked it?

    The problem was created when Apple added the "swipeup" feature to your home screen (ios7).  When you swipe up to bring up those often used functions like camera, calculator, etc, it is WAY too easy to accidently touch the Portrait Lock button near the top of the screen. There is a row of round buttons there to turn off or on various functions; the one on the far right is portrait on or off. If you want your screen to rotate for you, the button must be black: white freezes the screen so it won't rotate. I have the wi-fi and bluetooth white (on), but the others are black (off).
