The mouse driver and Touchpad Driver for Dell Studio laptop will not work with Vista

I just bought a Dell Studio laptop at new years 2009 with the Vista platform.   I had nagging problems with the mouse driver and the touchpad pointer that were completely related software.  These questions were returning back over the months and months.   I've owned about 10 PCs since 1989 and I've never had a bad result like this.   My wife and I have lost 20 to 30 hours of our time looking after him.   This could have the Vista operating platform?   I suffered so much that I made my decision to seriously consider the range of Apple computers.   At this point, I lay the responsibility for the drivers who did not also work on Microsoft and Dell.  20 - 30 hours can go a long way in learning the OS from Apple.    I am a professional project management and professional engineer and can't believe that something as basic as the mouse driver and the driver of the Touchpad was a goner at the launch of the computer screwup.   I guess that the validation of test have been ignored.  I have never been madder with any computer I've owned.  I learned a lesson from this.   Do not trust Dell or Microsoft in the manufacture of new products.  As far as I know Apple users don't get treated this way.

Sorry, but I really cannot speculate more what happens - or go - with your computer without being able to see the machine. It's the first time, you mentioned a bluetooth mouse and that you have installed the drivers three times. Certainly a bad image would not apply in this case. There are probably other things that pass only someone actually looking at the machine would be able to discern.

However, since this is a new laptop and you are unhappy with it, return it under warranty and buy something else. I'm sorry that I wasn't able to help you. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    The first suggestion that I consider as a last resort, but don't want to mess with my registry without help.

    Does anyone have experience of this 'mistake' and can talk me through a patch.

  • Dell studio laptop will not print to the wireless Dell 968w printer

    Bought new in 09 the printer worked fine. 4-5 months later had to turn on the computer and off the coast to do print. Now it does not print, it says that the printer is busy. tried to turn the reserves and off still nothing.

    Hello

    Run the software of HP on the printer to the computer and use the configuration utility to set the printer to a static IP address that is out of range of the router DHCP.

    Then again that installing drivers on another networked computer that requires the use of the printer.

    If the utility cannot connect to the printer you o read the manual and set the printer manually (the printer) to connect to the wireless router).

  • I use iMessage to the text of my Macbook. For some reason, it will not let me send a text message to a particular group (everyone has iMessage/iPhones) to my computer, but works well on my iPhone. All messages always appear on my Macbook iMessa

    I use iMessage to the text of my Macbook. For some reason, it will not let me send a text message to a particular group (everyone has iMessage/iPhones) to my computer, but works well on my iPhone. All messages always appear on my Macbook iMessage, but when I click in the conversation, no text box for me to write as he does with everyone. It's driving me crazy. How should I do? The two contacts are in my address book and identified on my computer but I can't their message from my computer and have to keep spending on my phone to text their return. Their new messages are always also highlighted on my computer. In the photo I've included, you can see there is no text box for the text of the group with "Franny, dad."

    Thanks for any help!
