Have outlook 2003 installed, one of my pc's, pressing F9 key does
NOTHING. Want to RESTORE F9 key to send/receive when pressing F9.
Any HELP much appreciated.
Please post to the group, I'll take my answer here, thanks.

Actually, the "fix" for this has to do with the Microsoft WIRELESS
KEYBOARD. The receiver unit has a USB connector, plus a PS/2 Style
KEYBOARD connector.
Microsoft documentation says ONLY the USB CONNECTOR needs to be
plugged in.
When you do this, your F-Keys DO NOT WORK.
If you simply shut off your system, then ALSO plug in the PS/2
connector into your KEYBOARD spot on the back of your PC, when you
power back on, your KEYBOARD will be recognized in Device Manager as a
"standard 102-key keyboard" and YOUR F-KEYS WILL WORK.
You'll want to download the f-lock.zip utility to reverse the F-key
F-Lock button, so your F-keys will be "live" following reboot. If you
don't, you'll need to press the F-lock key manually to then enable
your F-keys to work.
HTH.
