Hi, I have a Dell Inspiron B130, yes old I know. Long story short, let a friend borrow it who prefers a regular mouse, they installed it. Now I cant get my touchpad to work AT ALL. I have gone through Dell website and downloaded driver, nothing is working. Under my Control Panel-Mouse- under hardware all I have is "HID compliant mouse" I do have a tab that has the Synaptics symbol and the word buttons, no option to enable it anywhere. If anybody can help me it would be greatly appreciated!!
it maybe one of the functions keys - on Toshiba and HP I know the function Key F9 or F11 with FN key
so you hold the FN key down (on toshiba a drop down menu appears at the top of the screen ) and then press f9 or f11 or any key that has a symbol that may look correct
that will toggle between enable and disable the touch pad
My daughter has a Dell Inspirion N7010 running Windows 7 64-bit, and the Synaptics touchpad on it quit working 2/24 (coincidence?). Our solution was to plug in a USB mouse, then go to Control Panel > Mouse, and click the Device Settings tab. Then select Synaptics Touchpad and click Enable, then Apply.
I later found, after I got the touchpad working and I could use Google, there is a touchpad enable/disable key. On this computer it is on the top row of keys between F12 and Insert. The Fn key combination isn't needed on this model of laptop.
