tried using on screen keyboard and when i click fn normal f keys work i click numlock but no changes.

any help would be great ... thanks in advance

 

Hello,
Go into the BIOS (F2 during the Dell screen) and then change:
function keys from "Multimedia Key First" to "Function Key First"

 

Edit: tgell's answer sounds like a good one. I didn't see it before posting.

Are you sure you are hitting the f2 key when gaming and not the soft touch disable wireless button to the right of the power button (the middle soft touch button)?

When you have turned of wireless while gaming does hitting just the f2 button without the fn button turn it back on? [I'm just trying to be sure that f2 always acts like fn +f2]

 

omg this worked thanks so much when in doubt major geek it out was going nuts lol

 

No Problem. Glad you got it sorted out. Somebody on this forum is always around to help.
