I feel this will reach more knowledgeable folks here, than in help and training. i have a guy who is new. and his laptops f1-f12 keys dont control and game functions they are supposed to. Like enter bombsite or external view. And theirs not a way to map "enter bombsite ".

Is there an F Mode key on the keyboard?  Sounds like the keys are disabled.

Yeah my Lenovo is setup where you have to use the FN key and then F1-12

As has been said, it's most likely the need to use the FN key. There might be a check box somewhere in the settings for choosing the primary function of the F1-F12 keys. Unfortunately I can't tell the exact location or application, but the Control Panel might be a good place to start searching. Also, the Taskbar apps might contain something related.
