    F key functions


    I've been using COREL DRAW from the first addition. "ZOOM" in and out functions were controlled by using the F2, F3 & F4 buttons while in the program. Lightening destroyed my old Windows 7 and 10 computers. The new ones.... F keys open internet or advertising or puts the computer to sleep. I have 30+ years invested in muscle memory to use these keys in COREL DRAW. Help me. Please help me! PS: old keyboards are not recognized b the computers. Computer manufacturer says... SOL Bub.

    :)
