I use a dell wireless keyboard, and today it stopped working. All of the advanced features (e.g. volume controll) still work, but none of the standard features work. I ran the Dell diagnostics, and it said "possible error with USB human interface device" then described the error as a "Faliure using VXD loader". It failed to fix the problem, so does anyone know how i can fix this?
Thanks in advance.

One of the easiest fixes is to actually unplug the USB cable (while the PC is on) and switch it to a different port (preferably empty) if possible.
That forces windows to 'reinstall' the driver for that port, and make a clean install.
If there aren't any port empty, just flip other USB items to the problem port.
Vxd Loader
Hi and welcome ,
It would appear that the system is having issues with the driver.
This is the easyiest way to fix this issue.
Here is what you need to do:
1.Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Restore.
2. On the Welcome screen, click Restore my computer to an earlier time, and then click Next.
3. On the Select a Restore Point page, select the date from the calendar that shows the point you'd like to restore to, and then click Next.
4. On the Confirm Restore Point Selection page, verify that the correct restore point is chosen, and then close any open programs.
5. Click Next if you are ready to proceed or click Back to change the restore point.
6. The computer will shut down automatically and reboot. On reboot, you'll see the Restoration Complete page, and then click OK.
After reviewing the stability of your system, you can choose another restore point or undo this restoration. Just open System Restore and make the appropriate choice. After you use System Restore, you'll have an additional task, Undo my last restoration, on the System Restore Welcome page. Remember that you'll have to reinstall any programs that were installed after the restore point.
If System Restore doesn't work in Normal Mode, it might work in Safe Mode. To use System Restore in Safe Mode, press the F8 key during reboot and choose Safe Mode. When your computer starts in either Safe Mode or Normal Mode, System Restore can be used to capture a working previous state. System Restore can't be opened unless the system is bootable into one of these modes.
