Try removing the program itself, it might just ignore it when you press it.

I'm pretty sure you can disable it under keyboard settings in the control panel.

Can't you just change the Key Bindings within the game?

Signature's are stupid.

Have you tried just holding down the fn key when you press F1?

I would delete all the HP garbage that's been installed. It's a drain on your resources anyway.

Yes, that's probably good advice. (Note to self - must remember to do that on my laptop. )

Why do manufacturers insist on cluttering up our PCs with useless stuff? I've just been given a new digital camera and ran the default software install that came with the camera. It was so bad I had to uninstall it all before I could easily transfer photos from the camera. It now works fine just like any other folder containing files.

because people pay them to. They get a ton of money from companies who have them install their crap on your computer for you.
