I want to see if your problem only happens in Windows. Hi Emilee, and welcome to Geeks to Go! Sorry to hear about your touchpad problems. Thanks for the help, in advance.Įdited by emileeln08, 08 November 2008 - 11:46 PM. What do I do? It's brand new and it's practically my life! I'm upset. It doesn't show that there is any activity on the touchpad, but whenever I press the left- and right-clicker buttons, it shows that they are working. There's a little icon down in the tray at the bottom right of my screen that shows the touchpad activity, as well as the left- and right-clicker buttons. I tried re-installing the driver for the touchpad from the Dell website, but it didn't work either. Now, I haven't dropped it or anything.so I really don't think it's my fault. So I know it's a problem with the touchpad. I plugged the USB mouse from my desktop computer into it, and IT'S working just fine. I restarted THREE times, but there was no change. But the cursor was still frozen whenever it rebooted. I restarted, thinking that maybe my computer had just been on too long and that it needed a reboot. A few minutes after that, it COMPLETELY stopped working. Whenever I logged onto my computer this evening, I noticed that my mouse cursor was acting very sluggish. Everything has been running perfectly.until today. I recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop in August.
