    I brought this up 2 years ago and no one could answer but though maybe it worth trying again. If you upgrade Windows SP1 to SP2 or SP3 on Travelmate 630 series you loose the Fn-F5 function. Does anyone know how to overcome this problem please?

    Try installing the launch manager in Compatibility mode.
