The function keys won't work.

A while ago my computer was actting slow, and as a result I did a registry clean, and things started to improve. The only problem is that none of my function keys now work. By function keys I mean the extra buttons on the keyboard that raises/lowers the volume, brings up My Computer, opens Outlook Express, etc. I need some kind of download or method that will restore functionality to these keys. For reference this is the kind of keyboard that I use.

Most multimedia keyboards comes with a software to install and manage those special functions.

That's the problem; I can't find the disc that came with it, and as for the manufacture's website, sorry, no dice.

 

Also here is the manufacture's website.

That's the problem; they ony offer a driver for a fingerprint reader, and as for the two manuals, they relate to a wireles keyboard that I don't even own. Now that I think of it I doubt my keyboard came with a disc, and no, my keyboard wasn't used or refurbished, meanin the box had never been opened.

 

As I said before; this all happened when I tried to clean the registry due to my computer taking to long to respond. Since I never installed anything for the keyboard, and it worked just fine up until when I tried to clean the registry, I assume that the problem isn't with the keboard, but rather a few missing values in the registry. As a result I would like to know of a way to get those registry values restored. Would there be a program that can patch in the needed values, or would I have to do something else?
