Precisely which keys do you mean?
Open notepad, press F10 and then the down arrow - does the file menu appear?
If so, then it sounds like you're trying to use extended function keys (<Something> + Fx) to effect a system function. If this is the case, then it sounds like you're missing a piece of system software from Toshiba.
1. Visit the Toshiba website and install the latest version of any system software
2. Run Windows Update until fully up to date[SIZE=-1]te audire non possum. musa sapientum fixa est in aure.[/SIZE]0 -

Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.0 -
Hi
opened notepad press f10 nothing happens0 -
No, on a more serious note, check the second function key i.e the FN key and make sure you havent enabled any queer key board functions, the best way to do this would be to hit the FN key and the HOME key and see if that solves the problem, if not try all of your keys in combination with the FN key to see if that will release the lock out, I have tries this on a Dell laptop in the past and it worked.
