Howdy all, here it is….
A client has a Dell D600 laptop and I am boggled over the problem it is having.
What has happened is that the functionality of the Left CTRL key and the ‘function’ key beside it are switched, meaning the left CTRL key does what the ‘function’ key is suppposed to do, and the ‘function’ key does what the left CTRL key is supposed to do.
i.e. you have to do a “function key-alt-delete” to bring up the task manager instead of “CTRL-ALT-DELETE” or to use the function commands of the available keys you have to do CTRL F8 to switch the LCD to external display, or CTRL NUM LOCK to turn on the num lock functionality instead of Function key F8 or Function key NUM LOCK etc. etc.
Anyone know what causes this? I have checked the ‘keyboard’ setup in control panel and the ‘accessibility otions’ in ccontrol panel as well and can find no abnormality unless I am missing something.
Any help is appreciated!!
