Good Guy is a useless troll whose sole purpose is to hurl insults and doesn't know how to post without including a bunch of HTML stuff just to annoy people. How can you know this if you don't read any of my posts? Even if you are reading them, then why are you reading them is you are allergic to HTML and you are insulted by good advice given by me - Good Guy? Are you that stupid? It's not the html that ****es me off, it's the unnecessary use of pretty colours. Use html if you wish, so you can insert diagrams or use bold characters etc where needed. |

Mind you we have a thief in Windows 7 newsgroup by the name of WhetherMan who is going around pirating Microsoft software but he is so stupid that he, himself can't use any of them. What good is any software for that idiot!!!!!!!! He is still using XP and he is complaining about Office 2016 because he can't install it!!!!!!!!!! Now what do you say to that idiot? -- With over 950 million devices now running Windows 10, customer satisfaction is higher than any previous version of windows. |

I can also type it in here, or in any program iF it's a capital F. But the lower case F is not Functional, even though it's ok in the password. What on earth is going on? Go and buy a new keyboard - easy to solve any problems like the one you are describing. Hey Mr Knife, why don't you use a knife and remove the key to see if the connection is blocked by dirt from your dirty hands. You really need to wash your hands regularly especially after going to toilet. or when using a computer with Windows 10!!!!!!!!!!!! That's ucked! |

The keyboard didn't come with the computer, it was one I already had. And what was your point? Still waiting to find out what's going on with your mapper software. Has mapper software ever been run on the machine ? When you "remove program", does the mapper software remove the old keyboard map ? And if you install the mapper software now, what does it show for the current disposition of the F key ? Paul |
