The old computer's hard drive at our local Humane Society failed, so we opted for a rebuilt from our local computer shop in order to save money. The replacement is a Dell, running Windows Vista. It would not respond to the keyboard that came with it; we had to haul it on back to the shop. There, we tried a different keyboard and it works. Yesterday, we moved some stuff around, and again all of a sudden the computer is not recognizing the keyboard. All the USB ports are active; we determined this by plugging the mouse into each one. It responds nicely; we just can't type anything in. Tax time is on us, and we need to use this computer! So how do we fix this? Thanks in advance.
