I need some major help. I am trying to reformat my sister's computer. I
consider myself a computer whiz so I know what I'm doing. However, when the
screen comes up during reinstalling windows that says "press F8 to agree to
terms", the F8 key will not work!! I tried three different keyboards. The
last time this happened, with my Dad's computer, I just switched out
keyboards and it did just fine. Please help! Thanks so much!

If you haven't, try going into the system BIOS when you
first start the machine. This usually done by pressing
the DELETE key when you first power up. There might be
some settings in the BIOS to enable keyboard functions.
Ofcourse the keyboard will need to working just to get
there. Also is this a USB keyboard or a standard? USB may
not work unless setup in the BIOS
