When my function keys wouldn't work when I first got my new computer with Windows 7 I was told to make sure that the 'Flock' was on (next to F12). That solved the problem for me.

(eg F3 to save - F4 -special characters etc) There are no error messages displayed. It's just a case of nothing happens. I have asked them to uninstall and reinstall, but that made no difference. Any ideas or advice please Cheers Sue Coordinator of The Kent and Scotland Groups of volunteer transcribers working for FreeREG. See http://www.freereg.org.uk/ for details of the project.
