    I think where you are in the loading you don't need any keys. Tell 
me if your mouse works and can you click on the thing in the far left 
bottom? It takes a long time to go on but just be patient.

    Yes. If the F7 does not load for some reason load your FC6 back up. 
That is what I am using and it works fine. I like FC6 but have loaded F7 
and will putter around on it a bit.
