My keyboard doesn't work!

My sleek black "Internet Ready" Microsoft keyboard that goes so well with the Alienware case has gone bye-bye. It just stopped working in mid e-mail, and now the 'puter says "No Keyboard attached, Press F1 to continue" when I boot up. This is the first keyboard failure I've seen, and I didn't think one would fail in mid-word. Oh well!

I'm back to the ergonomic beige Mouse Systems keyboard for now.
