I have this somewhat new fancy cordless keyboard with all these extra buttons that you can assign to things. The problem is that the F1-F12 buttons that used to have functions in bodyshop that helped you view the outfits you're working on closer... no longer function with this keyboard. When I hit them now in bodyshop I get this message:

SetPoint-Programmable Buttons

This button has not been assigned to a function.
Press Yes if you wish to assign a function to this button.

So if I hit yes it lets me go in and program the buttons. But, I don't know how to set it up to work with bodyshop. I think that stuff is all part of Bodyshop, those keys having those functions... so how do I get my keyboard to just work the way it used to before I had this one? Sad

I know on the MS Wireless Keyboards, each of the Function Keys are set to do multiple tasks.  It's all controlled by the key Function which toggle between the traditional F1-F12 and the additional features MS decided we could no longer live without.

I guess my question is, how do I get it to go back to doing the normal functions? They all say Default Task, but when I try to use them in bodyshop that message pops up.

If you have a key labeled function press it.  That's all I had to do.

MS is not the only purveyor of programmable keyboards with this issue - I have a couple that have 24 funtion keys and they are the absolute devil incarnate when I am trying to play a game - with both of them - I have to remove the batteries and wait 30 minutes then put the battieries back in before playing any game.

I honestly don't know if i can fix it. But thankfully I have my old keyboard still so I guess I will just hook it up when I'm working in bodyshop.

Just out of curiosity, are the function keys working properly in game?

Well in game I use the other keys to move around the camera (when positioning for pics)... q and e, a and d, etc... not the F1-F12 keys.
