NB - FN keys doesn't work so I can't turn on WiFi on Windows 7

I cannot turn wireless on because FN-F8 doesn't work on Windows 7. Anyone could help me solve this problem?
Is it possible to remove Windows 7 and reinstall Windows XP again? (I formated drive C before setting up Windows 7) Now, I don't know how to remove Windows 7 and reinstall window xp.
Thank you very much for your helps in advance.

Hello. I'm new to the forum but have the same old problem. I had performed a smooth "free" upgrade to Windows 7 and was contented until I tried to lock the computer using FN+F1. After numerous installs of Toshiba Value Added Pack (all versions), TOSHIBA Assist and Toshiba Flash Cards, I've reached a dead end with nowhere to go. In TOSHIBA Assist I have also tried the OPTIMIZE -> TOSHIBA Hardware Settings : Button Settings : Function Button ->' Enabled' but it does not seem to keep itself checked (after a restart I find 'Disabled' checked instead)
This is really beginning to grind my gears. ANY help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated =)

If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead the instructions on this page:

Your key cannot work in CC, it's newer version, and would require a new purchase.

The only way to get it back is with a Terminal command hack.

Left shift key doesn't work on some characters

In some applications, such as Excel and AOL, my left shift key doesn't work on some letters. Consequently, when I'm typing I get lower case letters when I've typed shift plus the letter to get a cap. Right shift works OK, but I'm not used to using it. It happens on i, t, and p, I've noticed so far. I don't know if it's the keyboard or the application. Word seems to work fine.
Would welcome any ideas on what is causing this and how to fix it.

Is it possible that you have inadvertently switched to a different keyboard layout? Open System Preferences, then click on the Language & Text preferences. Within the Language & Text preferences click on the 'Input Sources'. You should see a long list of languages representing the various keyboard layouts that are available. Make sure that only the keyboard language you use is selected. If there are multiple languages selected then de-select the extras.
If you continue to have problems then check the 'Show input menu in menu bar' checkbox in the lower section of the preference pane. This will place an icon in the upper right menu bar (it looks like a flag representing the language you have chosen for your input device) that provides additional options. I suggest selecing the 'Show Keyboard Viewer' option and then try pressing the keys that you are having problems with to see how they show up on the keyboard viewer graphic. If you've set the correct language for your keyboard and the key sequences still don't match, then you may need to take your keyboard in for service. Better yet, borrow another keyboard to confirm that the keyboard is the issue.

Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

Wireless keyboard sk-2061 sleep key doesn't work. How do I get it to work?

The sleep key doesn't work on my HP SK-2061 wireless keyboard. How do I get it to work?

Hello @SunLovinGran,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I have read your post on how your wireless keyboard's sleep key doesn't work. Is your computer able to enter sleep mode by itself after a certain period of time? Are you able to enable sleep mode using a different keyboard?
In the meantime, I recommend following the steps in this document on Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Troubleshooting. This should help diagnose any possible issue with how keys or buttons are input using your keyboard.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, as well as the requested information above. I look forward to your reply!

Lightroom 5 key doesn't work

I have purchase Lightroom5 upgrade version for MAC and just re-install my mac and install lightroom5. however, it said my key doesn't work. should i install lightroom 3 then install lightroom5 upgrade version instead of install lightroom 5 directly? where can i down load lightroom 5 upgrade version?

It is possible you downloaded a Creative Cloud version. Try downloading thru the page linked below. An upgrade version is differentiated by the serial number... the software itself only has one version.

Right-Command Key doesn't work

Well, on my PowerBook G4, there are 2 command-keys (I'm sure that's common).
My right command key doesn't work what-so-ever. I tried using the keyboard viewer and it doesn't turn gray either. Funny thing, but when I press the LEFT one, both cmd keys turn gray.
Well i dont know if its a missing driver or a setting, (maybe even a malfunctioning keyboard?) but if anyone can help I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Sorry, my bad. Haven't read through it in awhile and thought it affected keyboard too, but looks like just trackpad and other issues described. You may just have a bad keyboard or something lodged under that key.

Im cs5 but I have had this trouble in cs4.

causiu,
It is possible that the issues may be caused by preference corruption or interference from other applications.
You may try the following (you may have tried/done some of them already) and see whether it helps. Since you had it in CS4 too, the most likely is 5).
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer;
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (irreversible);
4) Move the folder with Illy closed (reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options, especially Item 7) with the usual suspects;
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

Alt Key Doesn't Work With Tools

Suddenly the Alt key doesn't work with Clone and other Tools. When it's pressed, it shows a double arrow (black/white)cursor and a selection is not defined.
I did a forum search and found this
Q: My Alt key doesn´t work when using the Clone, Lasso, Magnifyer.. Tool.
A:
Some programs and utilities takes control of the Alt key when installed.
GuruNet (Atomica) and FlySwat are two of these applications. Uninstall them and re-claim the Alt-key, and all should be fine.
...but these programs are not on my PC. Plus, the Alt key works fine in other programs. I'm using CS.
I'm desperate to fix this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Dear Awe,
>Crumbs in the board?
Thank you!!! My first thought on reading your msg was "You gotta be kidding". Then, "well, why not". So I did it and it worked. Amazing. Learn something new every day. In 18+ years of computer use I never had this problem (I've had lots of dirty keyboards, but never this problem). Must have been a big crumb. The only mystery though is why the key worked ok in another program. Anyway, a thousand thanks.
John, thank you for your reply too. I looked in the Regional Settings but couldn't find anything re keyboard mapping. I'm using XP.
Best Regards,
CJ
