Well, we all need help in something. I have a newer model Dell, just over 1 year old, It's a custom (as in I went through the order customization process) Dimension E521. It was acting up few months ago, but tonight, I put a mouse in and it actually worked, a few months ago, all the ports were down, USB, including mouse and keyboard plug-ins, so I started using my laptop. Well, tonight I got a mouse to work fine, so the ports are back to normal, but my problem is, and I'm pretty sure it's a driver error, my keyboard or ANY keyboard is not functioning properly at all, I must hold down one key for about 2 seconds to get it to type a letter, this goes the same with any other key, it's impossible to type "computer" on it without sitting there for 5 minutes. I've tried many different keyboards and I don't know what's wrong, I opened it up and cleaned it out and still no effect, I was wondering if anyone here knows what to do about it, I can give you more info if you need it, but I'm really hoping for an answer because you know the whole thing about "Dell Service" and prices just for telling you how you broke it and Best Buy charging you and it just breaks again (happened before). So I thank all of you who took the time to read it, if you have any answers or suggestions, it's greatly appriciated.
Joe.
Also, since a bunch of you guys are "experts" at this, could you maybe suggest any cool programs just for fun or to help my system run smoother? Just thought you guys might have some nice programs, thanks!
BTW, I've been browsing around and I'd just like to say this forum is great, I like how it's very friendly, as in "welcome yourself" and "birthdays" just small things, but they're noticed by someone who's seen some bad forums.
