If the function keys are not working, the problem may be you have a function lock or F-Lock key that needs to be toggled. The F-Lock key is used to turn on or off the F keys ( F1 through F12 ) or secondary functions of the F keys. Some keyboards may label the F-Lock key as the Fn key
Thank you. I tried this but maybe because I have a desktop .. it didn't work. I had to toggle it by hitting the ESC key and the FN key at the same time to get F12 to work.
Thank you. On my keyboard, the ESC key has a picture of a lock on it with the letters "FN". I had to hit the ESC/FN key at the same time as the other FN key that is near the ALT key to toggle. After doing that I was able to use F12 successfully.
