Hep, computer geeks

[maillotpois]

Oh, and you only want help from the "Hep computer geeks"? Is that like Hep Cats?

I'm an NOT trying ALT+F5 until someone else verifies what it does. Not that you wouldn't play a practical joke.

"Hep" as in "Shake and Bake. And, I hepped!" Eh, you're probably too young.

I'm assuming this is a laptop, right? Look along your top keys (probably the function keys, but maybe others) for one with a drawing of either a sun or a lightbulb. It probably requires holding either the Shift or Fn key down to activate it. Once you find that and press the magic key combo, you should have a display brightness adjuster on your screen.

What kind of laptop is this? Make/model?

See - read what Dianyla said! I am not just making this up. On my Vaio there's a little sun on F5 - if you push ALT. It's worth a try.

It might blow up, but it is unlikely.

It might blow up, but it is unlikely.

VERY reassuring!!

Do it, SK! Try it! Do it! Do it! Do it!

Do it, SK! Try it! Do it! Do it! Do it!

Niiiiice. Subliminal messaging brought to you by AG.

[SadieKate]

Voila! The little suns were on the up/down arrow keys. I only looked at the top keys but your post made me look at other keys on the off chance. Thanks!

Dianyla can now proudly wear the Hep Geek, as in Hep Cat, title. You may have to hike up your bellbottoms though, Dianyla. It gets awfully deep around MP.

I resemble that remark.

Hey - I wanna be a hep computer geek!

Too late - I guess I was too busy actually working as a computer geek to see this thread! This forum is the biggest productivity black hole known to (wo)man...

I'm sure I'll give you another chance to help the dummy. Meanwhile, back to your regularly scheduled programming (pun intended).

Sk - excellent engrish! That message box is going somewhere in some application of mine - I love it!

In fact, it should just pop up randomly!

Oh no... why did you have to get me started on this site? I'm laughing like crazy and my kids think I'm nuts!

Good for you! I'm apparently too busy slacking from being a hep computer geek here in my cubicle, so I might as well help my imaginary internet friends with their problems!

Now I'm just going to try and pretend that I don't know that there are people basking in the sun with their laptops as I languish here in a fluorescent pallor.

If it makes you feel better, I entering the details from a foot high stack of contracts. Seems that the folks that should be responsible for them aren't capable of reading them so I get 'em. Is that a compliment to me or did I just get dumped on? Perhaps they have problems with their engrish.
