Display issue for F Lock key

[Roman King]

I use Microsoft wireless comfort keyboard with the most recent driver (v.
6.1).
The only problem with this keyboard is "F Lock (F)" key,
The computer screen is supposed to display momentarily the status of F Lock.
It does not work. So I have no clue whether F Lock key is on or off.
This causes a little inconvenience when I need F keys.
I could not figure out how to fix this problem.
Please advise me how.

Or perhaps this is even better. Amazing what google can find.

"I called MS Technical support and discovered that with my "Microsoft
Wireless
Optical Desktop Pro" system, which includes the "Microsoft Wireless Natural
Multimedia Keyboard", when using Windows Vista (with the lastest verison of
the keyboard drivers), that the F-Lock status--contrary to the settings
provided--never shows up on the screen!

There is a light on the wireless receiver, however, that indicates the
F-Lock status. (This I didn't know.)"
