the function (fn) key will work in windows by default.
I assume you installed XP? Home or Pro?

Check your keyboard configuration in Control Panel for a start and make sure that the device is seen as working correctly.

On occasions, some older keyboards required additional software to enable hotkeys and so forth, though this trend was pretty much stopped when they were made a default feature in Windows.

Did you have any additional software on your laptop that related to the keyboard or trackpad? I wouldn't have thought it likely, but it's worth looking into.

it is not a driver issue then. The drivers would work even if they aren't updated, they just aren't the newest, but that doesn't take away their functionality.

What OS was on your system before you installed this time?

the temporary installation of vista would not cause this, but there must be some setting that is just not set right or reading that the fn key is there. I will look into it a little further, and let you know if i find anything.
