I own a Presario CQ56 Notebook with Windows 7 64-bit, but I have a problem. When I try to use the F-Keys, such as using F2 to save my game in DooM, nothing happens, which means I can't use the F-Key's on my laptop and thus I might not be able to play some DOS games properly. So what should I do?

Laptops usually have a Fn key to activate the F1-F12 keys

I recently tried it with the Fn key, and it worked. Thanks. 😀
