Is there anyway to get an old Win98-ish era multimedia keyboard's media controls to function with a Windows 7 computer?

Particularly a Gateway 7001211. It has media and volume controls (along with a bunch of extra useless buttons), which I would like to use, but they do not work. All the drivers that seem to exist are Win95-2000 and won't even run in 7.

I recently had my Key Tronic keyboard break on me and found this old relic stored away, which happens to also be made by Key Tronic. It would be great if I could get those media keys to work, although I'll live if they don't.
