    when i try to use my Fn keys, especially the volume ones, F7 and F8, it also triggers another function. when i push Fn+F7 to turn the volume down or Fn+F8 to turn the volume up, it sometimes also brings up another window of firefox, my default internet browser. before i installed firefox, it would bring up internet explorer. does anyone know what causing this and how to fix it?

    are you accidentally hitting the email and mail heat sensitive buttons above it?

    I have Firefox install on mine and mine does not do that. Sorry I can't be more specific but just thought I would let you know.
    BTW...my WOW and email buttons don't work at all. :confused:

    no. for one thing, the buttons directly underneath the heat sensitive internet buttons do not do this at all

    i have the same problem sometimes when i am playing bioshock. A new IE window opens up and it is very annoying. I didnt have any problem when i'm working on my desktop.
