Important: Since my webcam driver was making my MIDI cable not work I followed this http://i.imgur.com/0jPnC.jpg and deleted: the "Lowerfilters" in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class{4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}" and the "Upperfilters" in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class{4D36E96D-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} everything was working fine as usual untill this morning and reinstalling the drivers didn't help... I can't solve this problem... can YOU?

Seeing as you have done some more advanced steps, I hope that I do not insult your intelligence by asking this question; you just never mentioned it as a step.
 
Have you gone into device manager, uninstalled the device, shut down the computer, removed the keyboard's USB plug, plugged it into a different USB slot, then turned on the machine to let Windows reinstall the keyboard?

yes a couple of times. perhaps i could solve this problem by obtaining a copy of the files I deleted and importing them back into the registry?
