Sounds like you are using a laptop where the function keys control
multi-media options (brightness, alternate screens, fast forward/
reverse, volume,etc.) by default and you need to hold a key marked
FN to use F1-F12.  Most have a configuration application or a BIOS
setting to "flip" the multimedia/function operation.  Unfortunately,
there is no standard trick ... you will need to read the documentation
for your particular computer.

73,
