I got a new keyboard yesterday. Upon opening the box, I found that I had misordered the keyboard with function keys, instead of the standard (Or, as I had preferred but was disallowed from, blank). This is all good and well, but my desktop does not respond to the function keys. In fact, it never has. When I press fn+F1 (mute), it brings up the normal output of F1.
On my old keyboard, it also had this problem. My old keyboard was a rubber dome keyboard that came with my grandma's Compaq, and was still going strong when she finally replaced the computer with one that didn't have the necessary PS/2 port.
It had actual media keys, rather than a function key and functions for normal keys.
How do I get my computer to respond to function keys? Is there a driver of some kind to download?
