Hi all,
I just re-installed Windows Vista Business on my laptop and when I go
into the control panel, the Keyboard option is completely missing. Now
I can't change the speed at which my cursor blinks and all that other
stuff. I even did a search for keyboard in the control panel and
nothing or relevance came up. I also went to the Vista Help on my
laptop and searched for Keyboard and I found an item that said "Click
here to change the keyboard settings". When I clicked on it, it went
nowhere.
It's as if the keyboard settings have somehow been uninstalled or
something .
How can I fix this and bring it back?

I have to try it when I get home,
but I don't think it will since I went to the help section in Windows
Vista and I clicked on "Go to Keyboard Settings".
I'm assuming that the "Go to Keyboard Settings" would also try to be
opening main.cpl.
Is there anything else that I can try, once again I will confirm once I
get home from work today.
Go to the manufacturer's website and see if there are any drivers there for
your model.

Hi,
I have most of the latest drivers. Also none of them seem related to
the keyboard at all.
This used to work fine before I reinstalled and I didn't update any
unneccesary driver.
What is the make and model of your keyboard? You need to install the
latest driver for the keyboard.
In the mean time, you can create a desktop shortcut to the Keyboard
Control Panel item by:
1. Type "main.cpl keyboard" (no quotes) in the Start menu white line
area.
2. Right click main.cpl keyboard at the top and click Send To ->
Desktop (create shortcut).
Hope this helps,
Shawn

Hey brink,
My keyboard is a keyboard built into the laptop and there are no
drivers for it on the Asus website. In fact, before I clean installed
Vista it showed up perfectly fine in the Control Panel.
That is great to hear. Although it should of autodetected the built-in
keyboard sooner. Strange. Oh well, at least it fixed itself for you.
Have a good one,
Shawn
