F1 Key Problem on POS ( WinXP)

Post by Kian » Mon Mar 27, 2006 2:52 am

When in Posconfig Area, I can't exit by pressing F1 Key.

Does anyone can tell me what is wrong ?
DHPOS is working fine in my WinXP, except that one.
There is no action when I pressed F1 Key to exit from Posconfig area.

Thank you for the guidence.

Does the [F1] key on your keyboard work? If you press [F1] when entering a stock number into a sale does the stock table appear? If you run other software that uses the [F1] key does it work there? If you switch keyboards do it work?

The F1 Key works fine in Windows, When I press F1, Windows Help appears. But F1 key isn't working either in DOS nor in any game.
Is there anything wrong with my windows setup ?

Kian,

Windows operations is not my forte. Maybe someone else has the answer.

Right click your DHPOS icon and select properties, I believe there may be an option in there

or if it's a Windows problem, ask at http://www.pchelpforum.com they are pretty good.

I've checked the POS.exe properties and made some changes but still can't make the F1 key worked.

The F1 key feature in any game also not working, e.a Warcraft 3, Fate, Fable.

I'm using WinXP Pro, and my other computer also have the the same problem.

:cry:

I cannot replicate this problem on either of my WinXP Pro boxes running Warcraft 3, DHPOS, etc.... sounds like you have something set somewhere that doesn't allow the F1 key to be used.
