    Laptop Mouse Keys not working
    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.

    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.
