Hi i just bought the game looks huge.I had trouble in game and had to update driver,that fixed the problem but i have two others.I was glad to see another member has one that is no map in bottom screen just black,but also i cant see my character in the equip screen.I have one more problem.i put obects into the quick use f1 f2 etc but when i push the corresponding number nothing happens, like i tried to use bread to heal in a fight.Well I hope you can help me i am sure this is not going to be an easy game but i like a challenge.Thanks in advance

For technical (video) issues you'd better see Hardware and Software Issues at The Elder Scrolls Forums.
Regarding the used-defined hotkeys you have probably just missunderstood. To get the panel to define them you must press F1, sure, altogether they are keys 1, 2,..., 9 you are going to use (with zero permanetly set to H2H), not F-keys.
HTH

H2H is just abbreviation for "hand to hand" - the fighting style with bare hands.
Some of F-keys are already in use in the game- F1 for the custom key (1..0) definition, F5 for quicksave, F9 for load form quicksave.

The game is definitely worth to play if you like freedom in wandering, plenty of adventure and roleplaying freedom (i'm playing, IIRC, about a year and half and still haven't got bored, although only recently started, if i haven't lost the count, seventeenth approach with custom class). Altogether for technical issues i'd suggest to check the link above.

The game manual has a lot of helpful information.
