10.5.7 WINDOWS F keys,Lights,eject key inop.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
APPLE Case #124762891

After install of MAC OS X 10.5.7:

PROBLEM: Upon opening windows XP with Bootcamp, None of top function keys work, Key pad lights not working, eject button not working.
FIX: Used MacBook Pro (Mac OS X Install DVD), select "Install Bootcamp". , Select "install/repair". , Reboot Windows, Go to START,
Go to CONTROL PANEL, Go to PERFORMANCE and MAINTENANCE, Select BOOT CAMP, Got to KEYBOARD and UNSELECT "Use all F1, F2, etc keys as standard function keys.

This fixed all function keys, lights etc for me ref. to the blog below!

(Hey guys, I could really use some help here.

I've got a new 15" mbp that tonight I drove out with to the apple store. Everything was working....I thought. Long drive back home. Open up my computer, try to adjust screen brightness...nothing. Try to adjust volume. Nothing. None of the function keys work. The eject button works, and strangely enough, the F12 button which should raise the volume also tries to eject. The pause button brings up the spaces window (showing all four spaces).

Very frustrated, could use some advice. Do I need to do an erase and install? These keys worked fine before the archive/install. Thanks!


EDIT: Okay, additional problem. Multitouch no longer works either.


As for your F keys, go to System Preferences --> Keyboard & Mouse and make sure "Use all F keys as standard function keys" is unticked. )
