My Fn key settings have been switched?

my Niece was messing in the settings and somehow my Fn key functions have been switched. Currently, it's set so that if I want to use a F key (ex: F9) I just have to press the button, when before I had to press Fn and then the key that has F9 on it. Also, now that the settings are switched, keys like the sound and brightness don't work unless I press Fn first, when before they used to work automatically. Does anyone know how to change it back? I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 and I use Windows 7

You will need to Restart your computer and during the first screen that comes up (POST) you will need to press F2 to enter Setup (BIOS) Once you have entered BIOS you will need to look for Function Key Behavior. Select Multimedia Key First. Save the Settings and Exit. Your computer will restart and your default settings should be restored.
