I just got a new laptop. On my old one, to rotate furniture in my house for placement, I'd push the FN + P button. On this computer it doesn't work. Does any one know how to rotate furniture with out a mouse or know what settings I need to change? I really don't want to have to buy a wireless mouse just to move furniture -_- Thanks.

Is there a another button you have to hit before you hit those on the laptop? Like a Function key of some sort maybe.

Dunno,that was all I had to push on my old comp. I've tried other buttons, but so far nothing I've found works.

Not sure you want to go through this, but did some testing and was really impressed that it worked. I'll try to give as detailed instructions as I can. Also, there may be other ways to do this, so try not to yell at me if there was an easier way this whole time <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Anyways, download a free program called AutoHotkey<a href="http://www.autohotkey.com/download/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.autohotkey.com/download/</a>Get the install version, or just the stand-alone if you don't want to install it. It'll run either way. I got the stand-alone zip file myself. After downloading, either install, or extract the zip file to a folder....desktop, program files - wherever you feel like.After getting the program, you need what's called a script file, which someone was nice enough to do for you.<a href="http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/scripts/NumpadMouse.ahk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/scri...NumpadMouse.ahk</a>It may seem kinda tough at first, so don't worry, it's relatively easy. After visiting the script page, what you want to do is start a new Text file (windows notepad) and copy that entire page above into that text file, and save it. Right now, it should still be a .txt file, which AutoHotkey won't recognize. What you want to do is change the filename to a NumpadMouse.ahkor KeyboardMouse.ahk, just has to have that .ahk on the end instead of .txtPut this file in the same folder, or another folder - it doesn't matter too much, just easier to keep it all together. Once all this is done, you can double click that .ahk file, and if you did the install version, it should load automatically in AutoHotkey. I did not do the install version, so Windows didn't know right off the bat to use that program, but it brought up the Windows Cannot Open This File message, and from there you just click the option to Select Program From List. It most likely won't be on that list, so you click Browse, and goto the folder that you put it in, and find the AutoHotkey.exe. This should start the program, using the fancy script that you copy/pasted earlier.The directions on what the keys do are right at the top of that very same script file. You have to hit Scroll Lock to start the script for the keys to work (which is also in those instructions).
