hi folks,
ive just recently installed Windows 7 Build 7100 on my eMachines E525 laptop, & i can't adjust the screen brightness with the 'fn' key anymore............please help because my battery power is getting hammered here!
I would assume that the Fn keys relate to accessability options and they come from emachines. what driver upgrade have you done so far?

erm...........just the graphics card which was done via the update, everything else just works! i think most British laptops have the 'fn' key?
Go to your vendors website and download the additional hotkey drivers. They may not have one listed for Windows 7, but the vista one should work fine.
Go to Control Panel and then Power options. At the bottom of the page is a slider for Screen Brightness - adjust to suit you.
It may be your intel video driver then. Go to this site and intel will check your video driver version. This may fix it.

Its located in the mobility cpl. read here my fn key stopped working randomly... any way to adjust brightness? - Notebook Forums and Laptop Discussion
