Windows 7 doesn't accept my Keyboard, HURRAY.

IS IT ME, or are there more?

The dell website will likely explain how to update the BIOS. Sometimes, they have you run it from within Windows. Sometimes, you put it on a floppy disk and boot from it. Sometimes you make a bootable cd rom and install from that. The dell website at the download page should explain how to do it.

I am still wondering how the OP arrives at the screen without a mouse/keyboard.

It's almost okay to be angry, just not AT anyone here - with the first post.

I guess digging out an old PS/2 keyboatd is not possible?

1. I say "I don't mean to be rude" for a reason, mind you.
2. Thankyou for an actual response, I have already installed it, I just need to input the Product Key. I'm not quite sure what you mean. Yes it does work in those zones where ou can press F2 to mess with stuff behind software.

NINJA EDIT: I dont have a "Dell" Key On my Keyboard.

But I suppose that you have a delete (del) key on your Dell, even if it doesn't get you into the BIOS setup.

Your problem is odd. You say that you can get into the BIOS setup with F2. (At least, I think that is what you meant.) So, that means that the BIOS detects the keyboard. Seems like that ought to be good enough.

As you have an appliance PC, the BIOS settings are limited. All that I can think of is to change the BIOS setting so as to not boot from a USB device. I'm not confident that it'll help, but it may. I dimly recall that it was helpful for some purposes a Dell or two ago (at my employer).

Thanks for the shake bobkn.

I can also recall that (some) Dell won't recognize a USB keyboard during disc image restore unless it is in usb port 1. Perhaps it applies here.

I wasn't angry. Although i did take offence to to those remarks on the second comment.

BACK ON TOPIC
USB port 1? your saying i should plug it into the back of it?
Nope, PS/2 Keyboards not accepted.
And I'll try what i can immedietly and try back for results.

Into boot menu.
In "onboard devices" It says
REAR USB 0 - ON
REAR USB 1 - ON
FRONT USB - ON

Did you try with the keyboard in the the first port, USB 0?

Did you disable USB boot, if applicable?

Its in, and The keyboard turns off during the start up
