Hi,
I have a dell desktop computer, about four years old, that I just recently started experiencing a problem with. I few weeks back I bought a new keyboard because the keys on the original keyboard were sticking. I bought a wireless keyboard and mouse that work by "connecting" to a thing that plugs into a USB port on my computer. A few days back I experienced a bit of trouble, where the computer would not recognize the mouse or the keyboard. I restarted the computer a few times, and pressed the "connect" button on the mouse and keyboard and got it to work just fine.
Last night, I experienced the same problem, except this time I can not get the computer to recognize the mouse or keyboard. I have tried using all of the USB ports on my computer. I have tried restarting and also completely unplugging the computer from the powersource and then restarting. Finally, I have tried using the original mouse and keyboard that came with the computer (that still work, but apparently just not with my computer right now).
You might also need to know that my computer is password protected, so I can not get to the start menu or anything, because I can't use my keyboard to enter in the password.
Any and all help would be much appreciated.
Thank you!
