Hi:
I get stright to the problem. The problem i'm having is non of the
Function keys (F1 - F12) works. for example F5 should refresh the page
and F2 should rename a file, but non of them works. Can someone help me
fix the problem? I'm using Windows XP Pro SP2.

I tried 3 different keyboard they all do the same thing so I was
thinking maybe something wrong in the registry or some kind of windows
key binding got messed up.

worst case is reload Windows XP pro :(

thanks
 
Install the software that came with the keyboard.

What keyboard (and keyboard manufacturer) do you have?
How is it hooked up to your computer (PS/2? USB?)

You might have a keyboard that requires you to press a "Function Lock"
key before F1-F12 become active. Read the keyboard manual!
