Perhaps you can navigate to, and on, you laptop manufacturers site, with mouse alone, well enough to find, download, and install a driver. Also, you could try buying an inexpensive keyboard and see if plug an play would install it. Finally, depending on the version of Vista you have, you can reinstall it by running the install program from within Vista, itself (i.e., upgrade your current version to itself). Good luck.

manufactures/shop says only that i have keyboard pro est and touchpad with 2buttons

if i run windows setup then im getting error at (about)50% coping files and then setup closes

Whats the manufacturer and model number? I will have a look for a solution.

Do you still have your original CDs that came with the laptop? If so, you could install from them with compatability mode?

Darn. I am particularly disappointed that the upgrade approach did not work.

I had a problem with my Compaq touch pad not working in Vista. I uninstalled the software that it came with and rebooted and Vista just recogonised it.

Coolzero, that may actually fix the problem. I had a similar issue with my Dell Laptop and uninstalling the software did the trick also.
