    Title says it all.

    NVIDIA's drivers b0rk the Function (FN) + F8 function. Sucks and sucks bad.

    Looks like I spoke too soon. The 169.09 DID NOT fix the issue. The original Dell drivers work great.

    Nvidia sucks :p As always
    Oh, and by the way, I'm using the same drivers but on the desktop and it doesn't seem to be causing too many issues for me.

    FINAL UPDATE.

    OK, I need to stop ****ing disabling **** until I know what it does.

    The problem was that I was disabling NVIDIA Driver Helper Service, Version 169.09 (nvsvc32.exe). Reenabling it brought back the functionality.

    If there was a blush icon, I'd use it right now. ;)
