I thought I read online that some dells do it too, but since the local stores don't have a lot of choices with Windows 7 around, I will probably have to order something unknown, but don't want weird issues like this.

Its mostly netbooks that behave that way, but there should be a way to remap the fn keys, I heard it must be done in the bios but I don't no. Just wild guessing here.

I have an HP laptop which has a built-in number pad.
Regardless of that, I still use the JAWS laptop keyboard layout for all my screen-reading functions.
In fact, I use the JAWS laptop keyboard with my desktop as well. That way,
I do not have to keep thinking which keystrokes I need to press when I use a
laptop.
So, when I use a laptop without a built-in keyboard, the only key I really need to worry about, is where is the INSERT key located for that particular
model laptop.

Kevin,
That's incredible, and I'd toss out that HP Laptop if it's really true that you have to use the Fn key for any Insert + key operation, Why not use the JAWS Laptop layout so that the Caps Lock key is the JAWS key? Would make a lot more sense than what you're going through.

James, yes it does, when using jaws in internet explorer you do the combo insert+f7 to get links, insert+f6 to get the headings. in order to get the insert key you must press the fn key because it is also the print screen key, also the f keys also have other functions and the fn key must be pressed in order to use the f keys.

This doesn't really have a whole lot to do with JAWS, really. Probably more appropriate for the blindtech list. Just in case you weren't actually aiming it at this list.

I doubt it, unless you enable the sticky keys feature in the accessibility page, then carefully use that key sequence on Fn. However no guarantee that sticky keys will work with Fn.
