my function keys (insert f1 through 12), have stopped working on my keyboard

Ryan Coverdell
Windows 7,, jaws version 14. Somehow my function keys, (insert f1
through whatever), quit working. I can't exit web-pages (altogether f4), unload Jaws (insert plus f4), or even restart my computer using windows m and then altogether f 4 to get to the shut-down options. I have a neighbor who can see, that could try some things. But before I go to the trouble of finding out if he can do something I'd like to try to do some things myself. Could one of you please e-mail what to try and be as specific as possible. I don't want to completely mess up anything. Kindest regards, Ryan Coverdell P.S. I hope there's a simple reset command or something.

I suppose you have tried the obvious System Restore?

look for an fn key on the top right of the keyboard and press it. its a toggle and will return your function keys back to their defaults.

And if talking about HP laptops the fn key is to the right of the left

control key (but it has to be hit in combination with the f key to be invoked, it's not an on-off toggle), hp laptops also default to action key mode where the f keys perform other actions (things like mute and network airplane mode). To reset the f keys from that mode requires someone who can see because it can only be changed in the BIOS.
