-aKy- Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 if you downloaded the dmg-file from apple it will only contain software for osx or below. no files that you could use in windows. I don't know it there exist any software for windows which lets you define that keys with special functions. Maybe try to google it ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reanimation_LP Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Err.. Theres gotta be something wrong with the keyboard if the F keys arent working. The Eject key doesnt work with the default XP drivers, but the volume keys do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-aKy- Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 A mac keyboard has way more F keys then a standard windows keyboard. so did you really mean F7 to F12 or F13 to F16?For me all Standard F-Keys (1 up to 12) work in Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-aKy- Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 maybe a hobby-programmer made a program to make that functions usable. Or simply turn your pc into a hackintosh, then all that keys will work for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
