Hi,

 

Had a bit of a nasty issue today because last night I was in a bit of a
hurry to turn the system off, and instead of pressing alt+escape to go
into the start menu, pressed fn+escape to go into the sound mute.
Unfortunately this completely overrides the Windows volume settings, and
the setting seems to be saved across reboots.

 

Tried looking in the manual which is a non-accessible PDF file.  I then
disabled a range of hotkey utilities in msconfig, but they just seem to
provide visual information/clues, not actually disable the hotkeys
themselves.

 

Anyone any ideas?

 

Model is an Equium L10, though it may be the same with other models.
Will phone them on Monday (on my day off!)

 

Andrew.
