    I just did a clean install last week. I didn't need drivers for the Fn key to work. It just does.

    Checkout the Acer Euro Site for a BIOS update. If you flash the BIOS, be very careful!! :p

    Fn keys don't need drivers, and the keyboard firmware is coded into the BIOS. Launch Manager displays what function a FN-key is performing on the screen in Bold Green Letters.

    Either some software you've installed has screwed it up, or you need a simple BIOS update. Check your current BIOS version.
