    So i bought a toughbook CF-29(not a touchscreen) from a local friend. Its a great laptop but the Fn key don't work. Any suggestions what it might be? I can't brighten or dim the screen. ( Anyone know another way to get around that aswell?) Thanks

    I had that same problem as a new 29 user. The answers, which worked, are on this site. Try the search function if you don't get something that works for you.

    Appreciate the response Pappy but my computer is telling me that it doesn't support that program. My search continues...

    Edgar,
    Did you try reading the F-29 FAQ's? It seems like you have a driver problem; which you can solve by getting the correct driver and running it on your machine.
