    Hi

    I've recently upgraded my TravelMate 3290 to Windows Vista Ultimate and now most of the ' Fn ' funtions buttons doesn't work. For an example, I can no longer control the volume by holding down the ' Fn ' key and pressing up or down keys to increase or decrease the volume. In fact, the only funtion that works is F6, which controls the on and off of the mouse pad. Any ideas..help much appreciated :)

    Thanks

    You will need a Vista version of Launch Manager.

    Go to http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/tm_3290.html and under the MS Windows Vista section there is a drop down box. Click on Launch Manager and download it to your PC, extract and install. You will then be prompted to restart.

    After the restart you should have Fn functionality.
