On some of the keys on my computer, there are symbols the color blue. Things like the "cent" symbol, there's an "e" with a line on top of it, someone told me it is because of myself being in Canada, the Blue Function Keys are french. So what about that, I just would like to know how to turn them on. Could someone please help me with this? Thank You.

There should be a matching blue key with the characters "Fnct" or some other abbreviation of the word "Function" in the lowest rank of your keyboard. You need to hold that key when you press one of the other keys with the blue characters in order for the blue character to be used instead of the main character imprinted on the key.
Unfortunately that didn't work. But I went to the bottom of the screen to the mini-icons, clicked on the language one and tried the French Canadian one and so far the ones I've tried have worked. You made me think of that, so thank you for your help, Have a nice day!
