My Dell Keyboard stopped responding!

Recently i updated my laptop and when it was finished updating the keyboard no longer worked. Before the update it worked fine and i had no problems. I restarted it several times and restored it but still nothing. Now im stuck using the on screen aspire 4332 laptop keyboard which is a pain. I also went to try and fix it using device manager but it wasn't listed. Does anyone have any other suggestions?


First, no this is not the same laptop which I mentioned in my previous thread, this one is brand new actually! It's a HP Pavilion 15 laptop with Windows 8, and its working fine except that the keyboard stopped working! The weird thing is that everytime when it boots up it enters a System Information screen (which you actually have to press F1 on boot to open). It says press ESC to continue, but of course it won't work :wacko: To bypass this I have to hold down the FN Button on boot, but then it only enters to Windows Login screen which of course requires the keyboard

I have found the solution to my problem. Its a Synaptic Touch Pad driver issue. If you have an Alienware m17x go to their Knowledge base and read article 6058 or 6059... Everyone else find the Synaptic driver or the Touch Pad driver for you touch pad and keyboard for the correct version of Windows and the 32bit or 64bit version... Be carefull, the Windows update may ask to update it... DON'T!
