What is the make of your keyboard?
Dell? Microsoft? Logitech?
If it is one of the above, you should have drivers that come with it. In Control Panel, you might be able to set the function of keys.

Mmmmm....dunno
Checked the Net for info but there was nothing on reprogramming the keys. I've never used a Dynex so I wouldn't know.

There IS a program that allows you to completely remap your keyboard.

http://webpages.charter.net/krumsick/

This will also give you access to the multimedia buttons.



I used to use it to turn off the left hand Windows key....now I don't have that problem anymore now I've been playing a while!

Yep...you're right. It just remaps the keyboard to another key.
Silly me. d'oh! d'oh! d'oh!

So I did another search and found this program:

http://www.autohotkey.com/

It does the same thing...allows key remapping but it also will allow you to run programs and such from key presses.
The only thing is, it is a scripting language (which looks to be pretty easy) and has a large help forum comes with it. But it will allow you to make your keys work for you.
The tutorials are good too.
I haven't installed it so I don't know if it will work....
