    Function keys not doing what they're supposed to inside a game


    Help! So suddenly, when playing a game that uses the function keys for commands, it no longer does those commands when I click on them. Instead, it does the Windows Function commands. So instead of what I want to do in the game, I usually suddenly find myself in my desktop or with the Task thing pop up, etc. It didn't use to do this. And it's not the game, as this is a problem no matter what I play. I have no idea if I changed a setting or even where such a setting would be, so I absolutely cannot fix it. I'm not that good with Computers anyway! Does anyone have an idea how I can reset

    :)

    Function keys not doing what they're supposed to inside a game

    Keyboard Volume Keys not working while in-game

    I happen to have used the Tt Challenger Pro keyboard in the past, and the volume keys worked flawlessly in every game, so it's indeed a weird problem. I would suggest the same thing sneekypeet suggested, using the keyboard software and assign this function to a hotkey, but you said that didn't work either, so yeah...
