please post also to the list
i am only using reply-all because moderated and it takes
up to days until moderators are realsing posts here....
"Fn" sounds like a notebook
on many notebook-keaboards you need to press "Fn+Print" fro the
print-key itself, so you need "CTRL+ALT+Fn+Print+S" for emergency sync
I did that. Bur CRTL+Alt+Fn+Prnt Scrn + b did not reboot the machine.
How do you make this feature work?
