In short, yes you may have disabled it by shutting down services. I believe what you are looking for is the Value Added Package that is pre installed on toshiba computers. Check in programs and features if youre running windows 7 or in programs in windows xp. Both are under control panel. If you do not have the Value Added Package then go to toshibas website and download and install it.

@ feudalkaos , It looks like you and I are on the same track so far. Right after posting this question I had went straight to the official Toshiba site for all the drivers related to my specific model computer. I installed multiple packages, some on top of the old ones just to attempt to replace potential corrupt files. At this point I am just guessing, but I feel like it can't hurt. The installs seemed to go fine and the programs work the same. While trying to install TOSHIBA Value Added Package, about halfway through the progress bar a popup error leaves me stuck with no install. It reads "Error 1606.Could not access network location %APPDATA%\." . I made a few install attempts on different user logins, Admin privileges and one without. So I tried to go to the temp directory that was assigned to it automatically and I can't find my appdata folder. So I changed the location and attempted the setup again, and got the same error about %APPDATA%\. This package seems to be the main one giving me trouble, I'm not really sure why.
Maybe I'm just a newbie to Windows 7 folder system, or maybe I have a real problem. I don't know where to go from here.
All TOSHIBA related services are enabled.
I would hate to restore my computer to a factory setting because I hate re configuring everything just the way I like it; however it's always an option to consider. As much as I love troubleshooting my own issues, this one is taking up too much of my own time. All suggestions are welcome and considered. I don't think this is a huge problem, it's more of a learning experience.
Anyone else looking into this problem, don't go far out of your way to find a solution. Was really hoping to find a quick and simple fix. After all it's just a Function key... (i think).

It sounds like the value added package may have had a partial install or somehow in the process of removing service it was corrupted. I would go into programs and files under control panel and see if you have it listed in the installed programs list. If you do, do an uninstall then reboot your machine then try a clean install.
necro fix ya thread! !

Recognize that you have a locked keyboard.
If your PC computer is not responding to keystrokes or is responding very slowly, you could have a locked keyboard.
Use your mouse to move the pointer over the "Start" button.
Use the left-click button to bring up the "Start" pop-up menu.
Position the pointer over "Settings" and use the left-click button to select. T
hen select "Control Panel." On some versions of PC operating systems, you can select "Control Panel" directly from the "Start" menu.
Select "Accessibility Options" to bring up another menu, then select "Keyboard."
You'll see three options that have check boxes.
Make sure each check box does not have a check mark in it.
The three options are "StickeyKeys," "FilterKeys" and "ToggleKeys."
Note that these options can become checked if the keyboard operator has repeatedly depressed the "Shift" key in rapid succession--or if the "Shift" key is held down for longer than eight seconds.
If the keyboard is still not responding, the problem could be that the computer has lost communication with the keyboard.
Turn off the computer.
Disconnect the power supply.
Remove and then reconnect the keyboard cable, then reconnect the power supply.
Turn the computer on.
This will reboot the computer, allowing it to recognize the keyboard.
hope this helps
