I've already done virus and spyware scans and removed them. The touch pad works, and I can click on things, but cannot type anything. I'd be grateful for any help.

Is it a Dell Latitude? They are known for bugging out from the case being twisted from frequent lifting from the corner. Bend the laptop in the opposite direction and the keys work again.
If not a Dell then get one.

Try this. Go to control panel. the go to system properties. It might be known as system. Then click divice manager. There should be a list of divices of your computer. Click keyboard and then doubble-click the name of your keyboard. it should tell you if it is working or not. Then if it says its not working try troubleshooting it if you have troubleshooting.

Maybe your keyboard is borken. Take the keyboard out and put it back in and see if it still works.

The keyboard on ours broke and we took it to a repairman and he put in another. That may be what you need to do.

Take it in to get cleaned. It may just be something very minor.
