Donna M: How can I turn F12 on again?

The subject says it all. I'm not sure what I did, but now, when I press modifier+F12, nothing happens. What combination of keys do I need to use to regain the time/date functionality of F12?

Hi Donna. Depending on your computer and the manufacturer, you will have to use the FN key for all of them if the function keys are enabled by default. If your computer can do this then you won't need to go through the BIOS. If not then you have to go through it anyway. When you are on your desktop or home screen of your PC then you can just press the FN key with the escape key to toggle between the function keys and F1-F12 keys. If it work then you don't have to press the FN key for the F1-F12 function to work. If it does not work or you can't turn it off then you will have to include the FN key with the insert key and F12 to gain the F12 function every time. So in your case now, you will have to press the FN key+Insert+F12 to get the date and time.
