MacBook Pro Keyboard and Boot Camp

[jmFightSpam]

Hello.

I am running Windows Vista via Boot Camp Beta 1.4 on my MacBook Pro. I came across a minor weirdity that I just wanted to see if it was normal. Here is an example. On a Dell or something, in Internet Explorer you can press the F5 button to refresh the page. With Boot Camp, I have to press fn-F5. It's like the function key is reversed. Where I would think I would press fn-F5 to change the volume, I am having to do that to refresh a web page.

Is this normal expected behavior with Boot Camp? Anyway to change it?

Thanks.

I just guessing here, but in Mac OS there's a way to reverse the use of the FN+F keys, so I would assume Apple has enabled that ability in their Windows drivers for the keyboard.

Thanks for the reply.

I was thinking about that. But I have not been able to find in Windows where I would make such a change. I believe a Boot Camp assistant was installed for Windows, but I can't seem to locate it.

Maybe someone else does?

I don't know about Vista, but in XP, the Boot Camp App. is in the system tray and there is a setting you can check or uncheck that allows for the reversal of the Function Keys/Hardware control using the function keys on the MacBook Pro.

Ceebler, that was it. Thanks a lot. I forgot to even look in the system tray.

Thanks all for the help.
