Parameters for TouchPad located in the control panel - mouse (there may be several tabs with TouchPad entered)
and some come with a utility that loads in the Notification area next to the clock in the bottom right.

==========================================

If necessary: (make sure that you have restarted at least once, if the above did not work)

Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touchpad - the driver tab-
Click on update driver (it comes may not do anything like MS is far behind the drivers of certification), now right CLICK
on the TouchPad and UNINSTALL.

Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in). RESET

This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad from working.

The similar procedure on XP, Windows 7 and Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific device if present.

Then go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest touchpad drivers.

Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

==========================================

This utility also allows to control the TouchPad:

  • Disable TouchPad on Dell Inspiron 1720 - Vista Home Premium

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 laptop and I would like to disable the touchpad so that I can move the cursor of the mouse only.

    Why? One wonders...  I can type text, when suddenly, the cursor will jump and I tap on the line above on the previous text. This has happened before, when I had first PC, and I've sorted it by disabling the touchpad. However, I have re installed the OS, etc, and everything must be reset to zero.

    2 years on I forgot how do. I tried Panel Manager and control device, but he can't get by on this machine. The system is Vista Home Premium, if it is of no relevance.

    Hello

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 and any time I try to play mp3 with Media Monkey or even Windows Media player, I get a jerky sound or jump slightly.  I looked into the Task Manager and my CPU usage and the memory never get more than 45%.  I have Windows Vista installed.  Could be the problem?  I think that the audio device is SigmaTel.  When I do a search for new audio drivers, it says that they are all to date.  Help, please!  I'm at my wits end here!

  • True color has not applied the requested settings - Dell Inspiron 5547

    I bought Dell Inspiron 5547 last wee.

    Since day 1, I get error of "True color has not applied the requested settings" . Now running Windows 10 (upgrade of 2 days).

    Tried to update all the drivers. Is there anyone facing the same issue and got a fix?

    Thanks in advance!

    go to programs and features in windows 10, there you will find TrueColor application right click and press change, it will be to repair or reinstall the application. Even though I have upgraded to windows 10, true color works very well with me, yes sometimes it does, sometimes only. In windows update, you will get the update for graphics card intel it will be

    Intel Corporation - graphic adapter WDDM1.1, WDDM1.2, WDDM1.3, WDDM2.0 graphics card graphics card graphics card - Intel(r) HD Graphics Family

    just to update these things also, I remember seeing somewhere on the internet that intel could be the culprit for this problem.

    After that repair is TrueColor 99% chance that it work.otherwise uninstalls true color and redownload it from there

    Last thing, I would say, is dell people working on this issue itseems like they said to my friend who had the same problem when he called. wait patiently they release the fix.

  • Play the music of Dell Inspiron 15R sounds much worse than the game of Apple devices. How can I fix?

    I just bought Logitech Z506 speakers for listening to music from my laptop and the audio seems not as good as when my friend plug the speakers on his iPhone or Mac computer. The bass is much worse and the melody and singing is weak. Overall it sounds low coming from my laptop.

    I tried updating my drivers intel and nothing came of it. I am trying to update my realtek hd audio drivers this driver seems to come from the 21/08/2013, that seems to be old, but I don't know if it's going to do anything.

    The Inspiron 15R is supplied with a software called Dell Audio with MaxxAudio that controls the settings of. I do not know if that interferes with anything.

    You can switch backwards between your Realtek audio driver and the native audio driver Windows in this way:

    1. open Device Manager (type devmgmt.msc in the start search box and press ENTER).
    2. develop the 'audio controllers, video & game' and right click on "Realtek High Definition Audio".
    3 Select this option to "Update driver software".
    4. click on "Browse my computer for driver software".
    5. click on "Let Me pick from a list of drivers on my computer".
    6. put the "Show compatible hardware" check box if not already checked.
    7. in the list of devices, click on 'High Definition Audio"(native driver).
    8. click on "next".
    9. in the update driver warning box, click 'Yes' (the driver).
    10 restart the portable computer if you are prompted. If not invited, so no need to restart.
    [To return to the Realtek driver, do it again but reverse the names in steps 1-6.]

  • Need help to connect the monitor to Dell Inspiron Dell

    I recently bought a laptop computer Inspiron 17R in order to reduce the use of my laptop Precision M6600. A Dell U2312HM monitor has been used precisely as a second monitor and I want to use with the Inspiron system newly acquired as a second monitor. The different video ports on both of these computers and I failed to get the monitor to work with the Inspiron. While the accuracy using an older VGA connection, the new Inspiron using a HDMI connection. To further complicate the issue, the monitor has several ports to connect to a source of video output, which includes the DisplayPort, DVI, VGA and ports for USB connections upstream and downstream, but not including HDMI. I used a DisplayPort to HDMI Cable adapter trying to to connect the Inspiron to the monitor, but could not produce an image on the screen of the monitor. This continuous monitor to answer correctly when it is attached to the precision via the VGA cable & port so I'm confused as to why I had no luck by attaching the monitor to the new system with the adapter DisplayPort to HDMI. How can the Inspiron 17R be connected to the monitor Dell U2312HM?

    Computer output HDMI cannot convert a monitor of DP (DisplayPort) using a straight through cable.
    What you have purchased is designed to do the opposite.
    Computer RFP out for monitor HDMI in

    Regardless of the port, you will get only ever 1920 x 1080 on the U2313HM. Return this cable. Buy a DVI HDMI to =.
