mixed up keys.

I have a dell Dimensin 4100. Anytime now i press the dell support button on key board my Calculator pops up instead.  if i press the dell.com button my computer comes up showing disk drive a,b,c,d,e,and contral panal.  Is there a simple way i can fix these buttons?  I hope someone here can help me out. also if the warranty on a dell computer is expired can you still get help from dell over the phone if computer is haveing problems?  someone please write back soon.

sorry i posted in wrong forum last night.

    snowwolf776,

    You can call the Dell Techies for help with your computer even if your warranty is expired.  The problem that you are experiencing is most likely only a configuration issue with your keyboard software.  Check this link for IntelliType keyboard drivers from microsoft:

    snowwolf776, Did you try going to Control Panel>Keyboards and checking to see if there is a place to reprogram these keys?

    snowwolf776,

    You do not need to wait until Monday.  Update your keyboard software for your Microsoft keyboard and program the keys.
