After I downloaded a screen saver my keyboard quit working anybody know how I can fix it thank you?:)
All keyboards, or just the one you had originally?
Unplug, replug the keyboard, restart computer. Try a different keyboard.
Any better?

Reboot the machine and see if this helps.
While you are in this mode, run your Anti-Virus and Anti Spyware programs as you might have downloaded some malware that is inhibiting the computer's operation.
OK ill try it thank you ill get back with you here in a bitQuote:

The keyboard should engage at time of bootup. A download of a screensave should not affect the physical operation of a keyboard, so something else is the problem. Did you maybe spill something on the keyboard? It may be the tactil film under the keyboard that might be the problem. If so this will need to be looked at by a repair shop.
So there's nothing else it could be?Quote:

Try a "wireless" keyboard if you can. Plug in a USB connector that comes with it and see if you can manage to use it this way. If you can and you don't have problems, then I'd take it in to get it checked.
Thank you your probably right ill take it and get it fixedQuote:

You should come to a boot menu, choose safe mode
Once in safe mode, uninstall the screensaver and then restart the PC

Thank you ill see if it worksQuote:
