HI there,

I have a Dell Vostro 1000 Laptop. The mouse pad works, but the keys do not. Is there a way to fix this?? Thank you.

Trt a reboot first and see if that resolves the issue.
Also turn the whole pad off and on again..

It's been rebooted a million times since the issue began. This started about a year ago. I did the turn off turn on thing.

Well why didn't you say that then ;)

Updated driver ?
Operating system patches?
Act of Gid ;)

I don't know.

You have to use dummy terms. I don't know what you're talking about...

Here's the touchpad driver: http://support.dell.com/support/topi...up&file=238839

Just download, save, open and run the setup.
This will reinstall the touchpad for you.

It's not the touchpad that is broken, it's the keys.

All the same driver..

Oh OK, I will try it out and get back to you on the results! I just bought a new USB mouse from Ebay though... lol... That might help.

I also have another question. Lately, my lappy top take 3-4 tries to actually TURN ON.

Okay, that didn't work...
