Hey everyone, I seem to not be able to use my keyboard arrow keys to scroll up and down on web pages. I know however, that my arrow keys work (they do in MS Word and other programs), but don't work here. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

I had the same problem for months and someone told me to press the F4 key and if that doesn't work try the F7 key. Just press it and see if it scrolls, if not go to the next one and try it. Good luck.

every time when you are about to play the game press on the box where thhe game is once u have pressed on the screen (with the mouse) press the tab button

that momentarily helped my problem but only because it was tabbing through the items on the screen. but once I clicked again (which I need to do for the game) it doesnt work anymore

Answer 8 / 9

I was having similar problems. My up down arrows either wouldn't scroll in firefox or they would jump to the top and the bottom. So after researching, I just tried pressing function keys... and... voila, F7 did the trick. No idea why, but as suggested somewhere above, I'd start at F1 and go to the end (F12) one at a time and see if that does the trick.

My wife's laptop computer (Louise) had the same problem. F7 worked magic!
Thanks!
