    uuuuuhhhh... ummmm???.....

    OK, I give up. I got an ATI Rage Fury Pro. Arrow Key? The ones by the number pad?

    The keyboard is an IBM. It's black does that make a difference?

    Oh, and I'm right handed too.

    So Uh, what's it supposed to do?

    Works not with my GF2 MX400 with 53.03 drivers.

    Must be an ATI thing.

    maybe a *new* ATI thing.

    'cuz this Rage Fury Pro doesn't do that.

    must be it's a 'hotkey' thing?

    And No, Adept, that's "hot key" not "Hockey"

    I think that it is specific monitors that allows this, not the video card. I could be wrong...

    We use all Dell's with Intel graphics cards, it works for those, I always thought it was specific to the Intel video but apparently not.

    Yes, you could be. In fact, I think the odds are pretty good.

    while knowing this is an old thread, if you have a newer ATI card, make sure all the little programs that come with the drivers are running...

    Zonealarm

    the solution here of ctl-alt-arrow wasn't working, then I turned off Zonealarm and ta-da. The video card was an Intel and the hotkeys thingie was enabled in the hotkeys bit.

    Thanks for the help!
