F2 and F12 keys don't work during boo...

I just purchased the Trust KB-2200 Multimedia Scroll Keyboard. I had problems with it at first, but I fixed everything and the keyboard works fine now. However, there is one last problem I'm having.

When I boot up, the computer doesn't recognize the F2 (BIOS settings) or F12 (Boot menu) keys. I know this will come back to haunt me in the future. The Trust online tech support is basically a joke. Before I installed the new Trust keyboard, I had no problem using the F2 or F12 keys when booting up, but now they don't work. I want to know how to get them to work during bootup.

Note: The keyboard has an ''F'' key that toggles the Function keys between normal mode and special mode. In special mode, the function keys carry out pre-programmed actions instead of acting as normal function keys. I don't know if this has anything to do with the problem, but when in Windows, the ''F'' key is off by default and the function keys behave normally.

Any help would be appreciated.

My computer setup is below, if this is needed:

Dell 531s
Athlon Core 2-Duo
4 GB DDR2 RAM
500 GB SATA hard drive
Windows XP (SP3)
I have already installed the Trust 15036_01 driver.

Thank you.
