    Sometime last week, the top left messages corresponding to the fucntion keys on my laptop have dissapeared. I know it's not really a big deal but it does get annoying sometimes. What's causing it any ideas???

    The program probably crashing or not functioning properly. Reinstall it (I forgot what the program's called, I don't have it installed).

    The program is "Hotkey". You can download the latest version although I don't know if it makes a real difference. You have to uninstall the old version first because it will tell you it's already installed. The Hokey icon is on the tray. If there's a small red X, this means it's not workin so you don't get the messages on the top left of the screen. It should work the next time your restart. You can also try to kill the process and run it again. If the issue persists, try installing the latest version. Had the same issue, now working fine :)

    Unfortunately it didnt work out. I downloaded the installer from Eurocom's site and reinstall it but the issue isn't fixed. I have the Ver M2.0408 of Hotkey
