Hi,
I just bought my hp pavillion dm4 laptop with windows 7
my previous laptop is windows xp.
i realise that my alt f4 shortcut is not working, by pressing alt f4, it does not close program like it could in windows xp.
how can i get it to work again?
thank you in advance.
regards,
yueheng
Do the following and post a screen shot please.
start>run> type mskey
opens up a microsoft keyboard diagnostics, which show the input keys settings
Im using a HP netbook so i think what caused your problem.
You should hold 'fn' key so that F1 to F12 will work like it does as usual.

Oops, this used to be part of MS Windows and I used it in XP and after you posted I tried it on my M17x and you are correct BFK, sorry about that.
Seems Microsoft began bundling it with their Intellipoint Keyboard and Mouse Software and stripped it from Windows.
I went to the Intellipoint site and downloaded Intellipoint 7 for a Multimedia Keyboard which is what my M17x has only it's Alienware and not Microsofts but it runs correctly and shows what key is being pressed which is what it did as I remembered and was how we tested keyboards in the past.
Software can be downloaded at Software Download
You need to choose keyboard, type of keyboard layout, OS and 32 or 64 and the language, once loaded my instructions will work, sorry for the confusion.
Well I picked this up from here:
Troubleshoot wired keyboards that don't respond or that type wrong characters
