Problem with microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000

Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000

I have the Microsoft® Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000. PORT : USB

My problem is When I want to enter into the computers BIOS, I have to press
the "F1" key. That does not work it boots right into windows XP. Next, when I
want to go into safemode, either "F5" OR "F8" will not work, it also boots
into windows XP.

Next, when reinstalling windows, I have to press "F6" to load SATA drivers.
This will not work.

Am I missing something here, please help.

It sounds like you have one of those F-lock keyboards that everyone
hates. Toggle the F-lock off, or use MVP Jason Tsang's information and
fix here:

Actually, the Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000 doesn't have an F Lock key.

If only all MS keyboards could be like that.....

Thanks for mentioning my site though. I need to beef up the explanation of
the commands.xml remap method.. One of these days....

Mine does and I find it quite useful...until I forget to set it right before
booting to "safe mode" ;-)
(Microsoft Keyboard Elite for Bluetooth which incidentally will only work in
a dual boot environment if one installation is not passkey protected...bad)

I honestly think you are one of a very small number of people with that view
(re: actually liking F Lock)... lol
