Computer Dell laptop Touchpad - how to disable?
I saw the answers anywhere on the web, but none works. When you click on "mouse" in the Control Panel, there isn't a "touchpad" tab We have NO function key, we have disabled the driver in "Device Manager" and the touchpad still works. We have removed the pilot, the touchpad still works. We have updated Windows... nothing.
Help me!!! Thank you, Alabama LALAW
Not all laptops have a way to disable the touchpad. Some, especially older models, don't.
If there is a solution, it will only apply to your model.
I suggest that you visit the User Guide that you can get from Dell.

* Original title: get the product key
I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?
Hello
Your question is not very clear to understand.
If Vista is preinstalled on your laptop, this product key is NOT for Windows 7.
There is a free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 years, but that offer expired for a long time.
How does the Windows 7 upgrade Option?
The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your Windows 7 update will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Option of upgrade Windows 7 program runs from June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option.
Microsoft sells more than Windows 7, but it does NOT come for free.
Try Amazon.com, etc.
___________________________________________________________
And if you ask to transfer the license of Windows 7 from a mobile to another laptop:
You tell us what type of license you have.
If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.
OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.
The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.
License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.
And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

If you had a 7 upgrade that you have bought yourself on the HP laptop, use programs Key Finder for the PK:

See you soon.

When you type an e-mail on my computer dell laptop with Vista system interprets constantly my typing as a variety of commands for example find, cancel, etc. cut.
Hi stuart-vm,.
I looked at the Dell website for the resolution of the problems of touchpad.
Look at the troubleshooting here.
http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/KCS/document?docid=277550#Issue0_0This is information from Dell:
Press the NumLock key on your Dell laptop
In order to have the features of a 101 keyboard keys on a laptop key 85, the NumLock key active keyboard 10 key functions that would be normally resident on the right side of a standard keyboard. Simply pressagain to return to normal operation I don't know if it will help your problem.
There is a link to the Dell Diagnostics to see if there is a hardware problem:

I am running windows xp on a computer dell laptop and just bought an acer H213H-screen that does not work.
I downloaded the driver appropriate on the acer site and installed. Also, I tried to reduce my resolution. None of them have worked. I get a message on the acer monitor that says "Input not supported"
You check the display settings and make sure that you do not have your resolution to high for this monitor. Its got to many many times.

Computer Dell laptop of my husband has a virus that wants you to install a fake security program. I tried to fix it. OOPS. I tried to choose an earlier date to restore your computer to and I got zapped, crashed and burned. Error is now: winlogon.exe - bad image then the msgina.dll login user interface DLL failed to load, contact admin to replace the dll or restore the original dll. I don't have a boot cd. Is there a way of "back door" to get his computer works again?
As you know now, do a restore of the system on a severely infected machine is not a good thing. Better to save the data and do a clean installation of Windows. You can try to do it yourself, but based on your post, which I would not recommend it. I don't mean to hurt your feelings, just to be practical. It would be better to take the machine to a competent local tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place).
If you really want to try it yourself, here's what you need to do:
1. start the computer with Linux Livecd such as Knoppix. You are using Linux, copy the data files on an external hard drive.
2. install Windows using the XP Dell installation CD.
3. install all the drivers for Dell. Use the Dell Resource CD or get the drivers from the Dell advance website.
4. switch to XP Service Pack 3 and do all the Windows updates.
5. install a good antivirus - NOD32 (commercial), Avast or Avira (both have free versions).
6. install all other desired programs, updated if necessary (especially if you have MS Office).
7. analyze data saved with the antivirus before you copy it to the new clean install. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic! -
