Matty,

what youre saying is when youre pressing your F keys they're doing the other function rather then F1 F2 etc?

HP by default set it up so you dont have to hold the Fn button to select the alternate option.

you'll need to disable this in the BIOS.

when starting up keeping hitting i think its F10 to enter setup.

under system configuration you need to disable action mode key (i think its called)
