On my desktop, when I press F5, it refreshes the page. When I press F5 on my laptop the screen goes blank. :-S
If only computers were designed by meerkats, then things would be much simpler. ;-) :-S

Are you pressing the Fn key at the same time?

Some time ago I put together a list of all the keyboard shortcuts - F (function) keys, key combinations, Windows key etc - if anyone would be interested in a copy. It is in a format that can be printed off and kept by the computer.

That doesn't refresh. That returns you to the last page you were on.

I think it's easier to right click then click on 'save page'

I just noticed something when I right clicked then. It gave me the option to reload page. :-D :-D :-D
