just installed XP on my new macbook (12/2K7 machine) using bootcamp. all's well in general, but i'm missing very helpful keys that don't exist/don't work the same way. I've searched the Keyboard options in Windows Control Panel to no avail, so I'm missing something?

Specifically:
page up/down (Fn-arrow keys work when I boot to Mac, but not on Windows side)
F5 toggle to project a slide show or app to a presentation monitor or projector---the machine doesn't seem to want to do anything but extend the monitor).
Ctl-home/Ctl-end function

I admit that I'm a newbie to Mac and to forums such as these, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much.

Hey sorry for the late response...

But you might want to go look at apple's website for that bootcamp support~

There is a keymapper program out there somewhere, I forget what it's called but I think it does what you are looking for.

Would love to know that keymapper tool, still looking for it... I found DoubleCommand, but it doens't seem to work under Leopard... Even the last beta version....

This link is for a program you can run under windows, to emulate your mac features.

I'm not sure, but I got the impression the thread-starter is looking for a way to make the shortcuts he knew under windows available under mac.

There are 1000 programs to do exactly that which the link above does. But I couldn't one good program that does it the other way, the only program that comes close was DoubleCommand, but it doesn't really work for everyone under leopard...
