I have a gateway computer, it has all the F1-12 keys set to a certain function on the computer. I downloaded a game and to play it uses the F keys. When i try to use them it does nothing on the game but it does the task its ment to on the computer. I am wondering is there a way to disable the function keys while i play the game. But not turn them off forever. I still need the keys for when im not playing the game.Any informaton would be helpful. Thank you

We need to know how these F1-12 keys are handled on your computer.
Probably a daemon task is running on your computer, trapping these keystokes.
If this is the case, simply kill the program and restart it when you stop playing on the computer.
And if it's a service, just stop the service.
If you have enough cpu and memory, another way could be playing games on a virtual machine hosted on the same computer. So, you don't need to change your physical computer settings. Should work, when you will be on the virtual system the F1-F12 keys should be passed to the virtual OS, and not to the physical system.
