Vista - Keyboard doesnt work.

YimJim · 09-02-2009

Greetings everyone,I have a problem with my keyboard and honestly I'm not too tech savvy.So I come here for some help.My problem is that my keyboard just doesnt respond.I have a Dell XPS420 Running Windows Vista Home Premium and its the standard keyboard that comes with it,all I can do on the darn thing is open winamp with it.I have to unplug it from its USB port and try another one for it to work but when I restarted my computer it didnt work in the port it was in before are there any solutions?
I already tried updating the driver but it tells me the best driver software is already installed.Could I please get some help.
P.S It worked for months before and I only started to experience this problem today.

Need help with my keyboard as well.

- My skill level is at a minimum, but can help my husband certain things

- My keyboard locks up and will not respond once my system is idle for a while.

- When the problem occurs, I have to restart my system. The mouse still responds.

- I have done nothing to fix, not sure what to do

- My system is an Asus CG5270 Bios Ver 0206, I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit operating system

Please advise if you are able. Thanks so much.

What happens when you attach another keyboard?
