Tecra A3 Keyboard Function keys and Microsoft Comfort Keyboard

I have a Tecra A3 and are using it with a Microsoft Comfort keyboard. The problem is that ever since the keyboard drivers have been installed the function keys (i.e. Fn + F2 to change power mode) now carry out additional funcitons i.e Fn + F2 also brings up the My Pictures folder. The strangest on is turning the wirelss network card on or off with the switch on the front of the notebook. This has the additional effect of loading an extra copy of MS Outlook each time it is swithed.
I have the latest version of Microsoft IntelliType Pro (version 5.20.412.0)
Any idea on how to solve this?

Hi
Sorry but you have not explained do you have this problem now using notebook keyboard or external one.
If the problem persists using an external one I think that you can not use Toshiba FN+FX key combinations. Every external keyboard is specific one and in my opinion you should check users manuals and check also all additional functions. I am also pretty sure that you are able to configure some special keys on your own.
The issue with WLAN switcher is very strange. Try to remove Microsoft specific software and check if the functionality is like before.

    I changed my mind and i wanted to try it, I found https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ex … troduction and I did everything it said so first I created .Xmodmap in ~ and in there I put:
    keycode 172 = XF86AudioPlay
    keycode 122 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
    keycode 123 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
    keycode 121 = XF86AudioMute

    but when i was going to try it with

    nothing happens, nothing in the console and the volume stays the same, any idea, anyone?

    You should really try and solve/research your problem before posting here.  You have access to the same wiki and same google as the rest of us, so I am not entirely sure why you think that we should be researching these thigns for you. 
    Also I am really not sure how you consider the most imprtant keys on the keyboard to be the play/pause and volume keys.  Personally I think the letters and numbers hold some pretty significant value.
    You do? what kind of wierdo are you?

  • MacBook Pro Keyboard Function Keys & Backlight Stopped Working

    This is a repost of an older thread, however i am having the same exact problem and i know i am not the only one.
    Origionally posted by FIDO2010 -
    "Problem: The keyboard function keys (i.e. screen brightness, audio volume etc.) and backlight no longer work in Windows 7 (64-Bit) running Boot Camp 3.x. I also had the identical problem with Windows Vista (64-Bit) running Boot Camp 2.1.
    Oddity: When I first installed Windows 7 and Boot Camp 3.x (same with Vista and Boot Camp 2.1), the keyboard and backlighting worked perfectly for about 3 Shut-Down/Re-Starts.
    Points of Interest: I use a Logitech MX Revolution 2.4GHZ mouse and a Microsoft Blue Tooth Presenter Mouse 8000 with this machine. When I had this problem running Vista 64-Bit and Boot Camp 2.1, I assumed the problem was created by installing the drivers for these mice (suspecting that the mouse drivers over-wrote the Apple keyboard driver); however, I installed NO mouse drivers when I deleted the Vista 64 Boot Camp partician and created the "fresh" Windows 7 (64-bit) / Boot Camp 3.x partician.
    I have tried the obvious of un-installing/re-installing Boot Camp, running the Boot Camp driver in repair mode, and manually replacing the keyboard driver itself. None of which have worked.
    Solutions?"
    Any insight will be greatly appreciated. this issue is driving me crazy. Must have installed windows a good 30-40 times in the past couple months. thank you

    As you all are probably well aware, this exact problem has been asked on a countless number of discussion boards and each is answered with a different "solution." Quotation marks are necessary because the solutions suggested work for some users but don't work for others. So, in a way, I offer those who read this reply this same disclaimer. The following solution worked for me (for now!) but it may not work for you.
    Just like those other users, my volume and brightness function keys on my Macbook refused to work after installing the latest Bootcamp updates and after restarting Windows 'x' amount of times. In addition, trackpad scrolling, which worked great after one of the updates, also did not respond.
    Here's what I did to get them working again, and it's rather simple. Find the Bootcamp application in Windows. Mine was housed in Program Files but yours may located be somewhere differently. Right-click the application and select Open. In my case the screen went black and the resolution downgraded to 800x600 or lower when the images on the screen returned so keep this in mind if or when you attempt this. The screen is significantly cropped so you may have trouble navigating to the Control Panel to fix the resolution to your liking. Anyway, now my brightness and volume function keys and trackpad scrolling work properly.
    I should mention one or two more bits of information before I sign off. To start, I cannot say if this trick continues working after restarting Windows. Also, I do not know if this process is something you have to perform everytime you run Windows. In any case, let the world know if this or any other solution fixes this stated problem for you.

  • Wireless keyboard function keys don't work even though updated

    Hi,
    like i read in different threads, many others had this problem too.
    The function keys of my bluetooth keyboard (aluminium 2009) don't work even though i did firmware update for mighty mouse AND the keyboard firmware update. I also unset the option 'use function keys with fn......' option in system preferences. I also tried disconnecting and connecting the device. In system profiler the entry says it is (still) firmware version 80.
    What can i do?
    I'm thankful for any hint.
    Best, Jörg

    wrote this in another thread, but it is relevant here, too.
    Wanting to buy a keyboard and reading this thread (and others), I went to a local Best Buy. They had quite a few of the wireless keyboards out. They had MC184LL(A) models and (B) models.
    ALL of the (A) models worked perfectly with the iPad (typing, brightness, volume, ipod functions, etc).
    NONE of the (B) models worked other than basic typing.
    They had a stack of maybe 50 new wireless keyboards on the shelf. All but two of them were (B) models.
    I bought one of the two (A) models. It is working perfectly on my iPad.

  • Keyboard Function-Key mapping in Forms 10gAS

    Greetings,
    Can anyone help with a quick outline of the way keyboard function keys are implemented on the Application Server in Forms 10g?
    My situation is that I have two unix servers, one for Development, one for Production. When running my Forms from a browser window, one of the servers responds to the F8 key for Execute-Query, the other server does not.
    I presume the mapping is done on the server, with some sort of configuration file. Perhaps something's been overridden by mistake somewhere. I have checked forms.conf, forms.properties, formsweb.cfg and frmweb.res, and cannot see anything that might relate to these Keyboard Function-Key settings. I've also tried finding a Developers Reference Manual online, but have had no luck.
    It's bound to be something really simple, but I can't seem to crack it. Do you know what I'm missing?
    Pete ?:|

    There are two basic versions of key mapping fmrweb.res files. Forms is released with a fmrweb.res file that has Ctrl+S for commit.
    But there is also a fmrpcweb.res file that can be used in place of the other -- you just rename it as fmrweb.res in the other's place.
    Both files are simple text files you can edit with Notepad or other simple text editors.
    You can find more about fmrweb.res in the first post (a ways down) in this thread:

  • Function Keys and Mouse Right Click Stopped Working On New iMac

    I bought a new iMac a couple of days ago and everything was working fine until last night when I noticed that the volume up/down function keys and also the mouse right click no longer worked.
    For the mouse I tried turning off the right click option and back on again and also tried another mouse which has the same problem.  Both work ok on a MBP which I have.
    I have tried doing the normal SMC and PRAM resets which doesn't solve the problem.
    One program which I installed after I got the computer was Logmein which screwed up my audio settings.  After uninstalling that my audio settings are ok but I was wondering if the program could also have changed some other settings.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you checked the System/Keyboard preference pane to see if the Function key option is checked?

  • Wireless Keyboard Function Keys Not Working

    I recently bought a wireless keyboard and am using it with an iMac running 10.5.8.
    The function keys don't work, for example F12 brings up Dashboard instead of increasing the volume, F8 brings up Spaces etc.
    I've unticked "Use all F1, F2 etc. keys as standard function keys" and have tried installing the Mighty Mouse update and Wirless Keyboard update 2.0 to no avail.
    Any help in fixing the issue would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    I have the exact same issue: I'm running OSX 10.5.8 and the "Apple Wireless Keyboard Update 2.0" does not resolve my problem with the "fn" key. The "fn" key simply does not work. For example I cannot adjust volume regardless of whether or not this key is pressed. Also, I cannot perform a "del" action, which is normally "fn" + "delete" keys combined. The "delete" key only performs backspace action, whether or not my "fn" key is pressed.
    I have tried removing the keyboard from the bluetooth devices and adding it again to no avail. I also tried deleting the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist in the preferences folder, rebooting, adding the keyboard, and finally installing the 2.0 update. Still no difference; the keyboard gets recognized properly, but the "fn" key does not work.
    This is driving me nuts, any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hello there,
    It sounds like you're going to either need your keyboard replaced, or have the buttons fixed. You can either have this done professionally, or personally, since the warranty states that you're permitted to replace the keyboard. For more information on how to replace it, visit this pdf and scroll down to keyboard, under replacement. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&ei=4U2bVeSZOMSu-QGwtIuIBQ&url=http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03935332&ved=0CCIQFjAB&usg=AFQjCNFI7Za3MTOYi3U2gqYwky_v2R-eIA&sig2=BEpyqWkFFkSjkR0z4r5v-Q

  • Microsoft Comfort Keyboard 2000 "n" key not working

    First off any n

    I am using Windows
    7 64 bit and all other keys on the keyboard
    work perfectly fine. All I could find
    help for were the non-character keys.
    This is very disappointing to me because
    of the short amount of time it took for this product to stop functioning.
    Thank you if you can
    help.

    Hi,
    I suggest
    removing and reinstalling the device driver.

    If the issue persists, it is recommending contacting Microsoft Hardware support and let them examine the hardware.

  • Boot camp 3, windows 7, 13" unibody macbook and keyboard function keys....

    after some screwing around (disable user access control, install tweak util to allow unsigned drivers) most features of my macbook are now working in windows 7. battery life looks abysmal as it was in vista, but i'll deal with that later.
    the major glitch at this point seems to be the keyboard. the boot camp manager in the system tray has the keyboard option, which does nothing. pressing fn-f1, f2, etc does nothing except bring up help or the corresponding f-key value for windows. i manually reinstalled the apple keyboard driver, but this obviously isn't a driver issue - it's a keyboard manager issue. i notice that there is no more kbdmgr.exe in boot camp 3... at least as far as i can tell. what process is now responsible for these keyboard functions? it would be really nice to be able to eject discs, use volume, hit ctrl-alt-del, etc!!
    thanks in advance to anyone who has figured this out.

    to sum up: actually got 7 running, but all just to a certain extent:
    Keyboard works rather well, even though the backlight cant be fully switched off in low light conditions. Low light is considered even if its still bright enough to easily read the keys labels, but thats just the same as in OSX.
    The trackpad works half way, as a poorly working standard touchpad with + two finger scrolling (way too quick) + two finger right click. Tapping works, but dragging and tapping doesnt work technically (clicking a button then quickly moving the cursor is misstaken as dragging, feels inferior in recognition to other touchpads). Multitouch stuff doesnt work at all, which is a pain seeing that touchpad.
    Sound quite works, but if u reboot the macbook in having the sound muted u need to reboot again with sound switched on to make the sound play through the speakers.
    CD eject seems buggy too.
    Battery runs like 2,5 hours (4 hours in OS X). (Must be a driver issue, windows CAN run such a notebook for 4 hours too, just consider all those lenovo thinkpads)
    Why the **** does installing Windows on a Mac feel like installing Linux on a random PC...
    If anyone has solutions/hints regarding the sound or the trackpad let the world know!
    Coolest thing ever would be to get synaptics drivers running with the Apple touchpad. Could be possible, since in Linux as far as i get it the macbook touchpad is driven by synaptic drivers as well. Would need some fiddling though, maybe someone manages?!

  • CS 4 custom shortcuts and function keys with apple extended keyboard

    Hi all,
    the F-Keys from F1 to F12 work fine, but F13 to F16 get entered as F3 (F17 to F19 do not get recognized at all).
    Has to be an Illustrator CS4 problem since they are recognized in InDesign or Photoshop CS4 (except the F17 and up).
    Anyone can help?
    And yes, I tried using all as standard function keys ;-)
    MacPro 2x 2.8 Quad Core Intel Xeon, 10.5.5

    I just got the new keyboard today I have the same issue... have you had any luck in finding a work around?  I just got off the phone with tech support and they told me that it is a known issue and to wait for an update be either Adobe or Apple.  It is not an Apple problem, it is an Adobe problem.
    For the time being, I have just made it so that I have to hit the "fn" (function) key in order to control the media options on the F-Keys.  This seems to work for now since I use shortcuts on those keys more than the media options.
