    You need to download a program called "Launch Manager." You can find it here - http://www.acerpanam.com .

    After installing the program, run it and you can adjust the keys to fit your needs.


    >> I'm certain that when I got the laptop the icon continually ran in my taskbar, but now I have to manually start the prog each time I start Windows. Any idea how to keep it continually running?

    Many thanks for the LAUNCH MANAGER query... also, on another topic, I'm having terrible trouble with the space bar on my keyboard. It doesn't always seem to work... is it the way I hit? Are they notorious for this?
