I made a mistake earlier in this thread.  
The Model Number is B750  
The s/n sticker is totally unreadable.

The PDF Manual isn’t my unit. The F keys i have are;  
F2 is sleep(i do not use that feature)  
F6=Mute  
F7&8 = speaker volume  
F9&10 are brightness

No other F keys are identified.

i e-mailed the tech support, maybe they will help too.

I did play with the Fn-F5 and nothing

Geeze Guys  
Thanks

But it might be worth wandering along to [http://www.sis.com/download/](http://www.sis.com/download/) and downloading+installing the relevant IGP driver for the SiS650 chipset. That should give you some extra functions/flexibility over and above the normal Windows display controls using the SiS utilites.

I thank you.  
I will have to bring the laptop to someone who knows much more than i do, I am not using the said laptop on the web. This is another computer i am on here/now.

That was one of the decisions i made a few years back, after viruses disabled me just before a presentation.  
And i am on dial up.

That is a very wise idea indeed.
