Function Keys Not Working After Re-installing Windows 7

[Bumpiest Poppy]

Hello everyone,
I recently re-installed Windows 7 my Alienware M14x R1 and every since I could not use ANY of my function keys from F1-F12. I could not change the volume of my laptop or the brightness without going into sound or display settings.

I have been told to get a driver called HotKeys for my Alienware. However, I did not manage to find any online. If anyone could leave a link to the HotKey driver that would we wonderful.

Thank you so much for your support. I need to get this fixed badly.

As far as I recall, Alienware were bought by Dell. Go to Dell Support Page, enter your service tag number, there you would probably find what you are looking for. On my (already old) Dell laptop, the app was called "Dell Set".
