The wireless mouse is working fine. However, the keyboard is not. The Bluetooth indicator can be blinking. Batteries are fine. Cannot get into the computer as I cannot type password to log in.
Thanks. I am using Vista and was able to log into the computer using the onscreen keyboard, but I do not know how to reconnect the keyboard. I loaded the keyboad and mouse drive (SetPoint), but when I tried to check "device connection status", nothing comes up.

Mostlikely you need to repair the mouse with the computer. open your bluetooth utility or the keyboard/mouse utility and follow the pairing instructions. this should solve your problem
Most Bluetooth keyboards and mice are just Plug-n-Play and does not require any driver installation. You need to isolate the problem, please follow the steps below:
1. Make sure that the wireless adapter of your wireless KB and mouse is properly connected to the USB port of the computer.
2. Make sure that the USB ports of your computer are working.
3. Use fresh batteries for the KB and mouse.
4. After connecting the wireless dongle to the computer, turn on your KB and mouse (there should be an ON/OFF switch underneath).
5. Briefly press the connect button on the wireless dongle and then hold down the connect button underneath the mouse for five seconds and then release it.
check the device for a " reset " button, they are usually located on the bottom of the device, if this does not work, you may need to contact dell directly and discuss the problem further.

Press the Receiver button (and the lights will start

Then if the Keyboard isn't working, press the small RESET/CONNECT
button on the back of the board to connect the keyboard to the
receiver.
If the MOUSE isn’t working, push the small RESET/CONNECT button
