Default Whos got a Dell Notebook?

I need some help. Its driving me crazy. The handy dandy buttons that allow you to control the volume/ track change/ play/ stop buttons... I need to know how to turn them on. Any help?

What model do you have? if the volume buttons and such are in a dfferent color. there should be a Fn button on the keyboard somehwere. you must press this button to get these "functions" to work. thus "Fn"

Inspiron 8100. And no.. its a little more deep and complicated. I know the FN button. Im talking about the strictly dedicated buttons near the power button.

I did it once like 3 years ago... it has nothing to do with bios. Its more of a feature setting.
