I need a BREAK

July 23rd, 2009 chungerz 2 comments

I recently purchased a Dell Studio XPS 16 (or 1640) . My initial thought was that it resembled a MacBook Pro only in glossy black. A lovely back lit keyboard catches the eye and a noticeably clear, bright and wide HD screen embraces me as I use the laptop. Battery life is a bit a concern but at this spec and purpose will have to do.

In my work I need to connect to the work files via the Remote Desktop which is handled by the FirePass VPN gateway. One of the issues of this is that I like to have a full screen of the remote desktop and you enable it by Control + Alt + Break key combination. Well to my surprise there is no BREAK key on the Studio XPS 16.  I searched high and low. Checked the manual,web site and of course google but no real answer. So how do I do a Control + Alt + Break?

EDIT: Found the solution Fn+F12 will give you a break!
