    Open the Keyboard & Mouse panel in System Preferences. In there you will find a checkbox that says, "Use F1-F12 keys to control software features." If you enable this option, your function keys will work like the would on a desktop keyboard. You can still access the brightness/volume features by holding down the fn key.

    Go into Device Manager (Right Click "My Computer" then to Properties, click on "Device Manager TAB)

    Click + sign next to Keyboard, highlight the entry under it and hit Remove Button. Say YES.

    Reboot. Windows will re-install the driver. May fix it.
