fqpissed Wireless Keyboard & Mouse quit working

I've got a Dell E310 I took the computer and cleaned it using canned air. When I hook the keyboard & mouse back up it no longer worked. I went though and hit the reset buttons but still its not working... and for the life of me I can't find the driver disc.. I even went back in and made sure that all the boards reset.. Is there anything I can do besides taking my other wired keyboard and mouse finding a driver on Dell?

It will NOT be a driver issue. It will be dead batteries or a physical connection issue - or a USB problem. If it's a USB problem, a wired USB keyboard and mouse won't work either. Are there any flagged devices in device manager?

fqpissed I Lost My Device Manger

Since I was dead in the water without a key board I took my wired keyboard and mouse and hook them up too the two front ports and low and behold they work. For the usb problem? We know that the front two are working, so I went in to check my device manager,Like you said to check for a flagged device, But There's no device manager...The Screen is Blank!! I shut down rebooted and still Blank screen...

fqpissed Canned air is powerful

O.K. That's were I started I double click the Plug & Play and it was already in Auto I reset Auto and applied and restarted the computer Still a blank screen I went back in to Run and type in: mm /a, and hit O.K. in the Console Root this is what I found: THERE ARE NO ITEMS TO SHOW IN THIS VIEW. Does this mean that my Device Manager has some how been deleted
