Help with a laptop

[theCMNDER]

Hey I recently got a new dell laptop and I also picked up Thief: Deadly Shadows. The problem I'm having is the laptop has keybindings set to all the F# keys. F2 turns on and off the wireless internet for example. I can't play the game very well because I can't press those keys without something else happening aswell. How can I turn off those key bindings, so to speak?

Thank you very much for any help in advance!

it can vary.
It's best to just search around in the control panel i guess (in case of windows xp, i know nothing of how to navigate using anything else)

Thanks I will try that and check that, I did try googling it but its hard googling for something this obscure, and I wasn't sure how to word it ^_^

Rebinding the keys for Thief would be easier.
(Not sure how your lappys keyboards set up though, so can't really help. Usually some sort of F mode turns all of those off.)

Hold down the FN key and hit the SCROLL key (found next to the F12 button). worked 4 me.

Yep. The 'Fn' key. There might also be a 'mode' key somewhere that toggles the effect of the F keys, like on my desktop keyboard. In any case, I find it strange that it would be enabled by default.

Hmm then the problem I'm facing would then be that I don't appear to have a scroll or mode key =/

Problem Solved!

Thanks for the help guys.

The solution was to change the system configuration in the BIOS.
