Good day Gentl'men!

Im having a little problem with my Old NEC laptop.. I can't continue reformatting because even during reformat the filterkeys keeps turning on.. When I press 3, the # sign appears. How can I remove filter keys before reformat? Is there something wrong with my keyboard? And why this filter keys appears during reformat time?..Im using windows XP SP2!

Thank you guys for helping!

Some of those laptop keyboards have alternate function keys so when you press keys in te number row, you get the alternate character. Check the keyboard to see if any lights indicate this type of config.

I dont see any lights on the keyboard..Even if I use external usb port keyboard still the filter keys seems to appear..Can I remove this filterkeys dll on the setup before I begin the format?

perhaps the FN key is stuckin
