the fn key doesnt work because you dont have drivers installed for it. if
you cant control brightness in the bios, and theres no driver for your
laptop/keyboard, theres nothing you can do

huh? wow you really are dumb. have you ever owned a laptop? the FN keys that
control brightness wont work if the OS doesnt have the right driver... is
that over your head? my thinkpad didnt work for a while... just got the
latest driver, all works fine. see how that works?

Anthony:
For the FN function to work the drivers have to be installed. The
Vista drivers for the US version of the A100 are at
[url]http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_modItemList.jsp[/url]. In some
cases where the Vista drivers aren't available the XP drivers will work.
Have a great day.

you should try going to your start menu, then click on 'control panels', and
then on the top right, type in the search box 'brightness' and it should
bring you to the windows mobility center (adjust screen brightness). There
you can adjust the screen to be a little brighter. Your FN key should work,
try holding it down at the same time when hold down the up and down
keys(which should have a pic. of a sun) if the FN key doesn't work, you
should get the computer checked out, especially if you have a warranty on it
still
