Lost use of 'special' keys

[Guest]

On my WinXP PC I have a Microsoft USB Internet KB. I've suddenly lost
the use of the special keys, like 'Calculator', 'My Computer', etc. I
tried uninstalling it from Device Manager>Keyboards, but after reboot
and automatic reinstall that has made no difference.

I use Calculator a lot, so I'd like it back. More important, I'd like
to know what's going on!

Any ideas please?

Intellitype software is installed? You need that to make use of the extra
keys.
