Can't get F-keys to work

[burton666]

I have a strange problem, I cant use the F-keys (F1-F12) for any hotkeys. If I press F1 without any script using the key it opens the standard windows help. I can use ^F1:: for hotkey but I cant use only F1:: to trigger anything.

Hi burt,
Try this it works on my Win7 Pro.
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
F1::
send abc ;sends abc to notepad if open---comment it out
;run calc ;and uncomment this line to run calulator
return
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Or post your hotkey script.
