Windows 8 + Dell touchpad

I have recently upgraded to Windows 8 Pro but now scrolling on my Dell touchpad no longer works.

I'm on a Dell Inspiron 1545 - have checked the Dell website for touchpad drivers but can't find for Windows 8...

Can anyone help?

Hi Sof123,

Inspiron 1545 system has not been tested with Windows 8. There is no Windows 8 drivers for this system. You can check out the link to a compatible system tested by Dell with Windows 8 http://dell.to/RnDAFu

You try to install the driver in compatibility mode. It might work.

  • Download the driver from the following link http://dell.to/YTwK9N
  • Right click on the driver installation file, then select Properties-> Compatibility tab.
  • Select Windows 7 from the following image list

  • Click apply-> OK
  • Right-click on the file and select the "run as Administrator" to install the driver

I hope this helps.

  • Reference Dell touchpad doesn't scroll in Windows 10 - Inspiron 11 3137

    Updated my Inspiron 11 3137 to 10 Windows by doing a clean install.  I installed all the drivers from the Dell Support site for Windows 10 x 64, including the v19.0.15.2 Dell Touchpad Driver (A00) listed. I configured the touchpad settings as I had them in the previous OS - with 2 fingers of active scroll. It worked fine, but now has problems to win 10.

    Win 10, scrolling works fine in Google Chrome and Nitro pdf reader only (I've tested, at least). In Internet Explorer, and all of the 'modern' aka 'Metro' apps, scrolling does not work. When I scroll gesture, a small roll of type icon appears but nothing happens (see attached photo).  I tried to reset the touchpad settings and I tried to uninstall / reinstall the driver, without success.

    Suggestions?

    Thank you!

    In case anyone else has this problem, I solved it by installing the driver for the Touchpad of Dell for Windows 8.1. Now, all scrolls, including Windows 10 apps and Internet Explorer.

    The version that works is v17.0.9.23 (A03) and is listed under 8.1 WIndows drivers.

    If the machine came originally with Vista, and you charged it with Win 7 disc by the same manufacturer, it will go into a grace period and the non-genuine end - the key used for this installation requires data appropriate to the SLIC table in BIOS in order to activate it.

    1. I'm about to buy a new Windows 8/Dell and I need the answer above to implement.

    2. I have documents and photos on a separate USB Flash Pen, I want to copy in Windows 8/Dell. How it works, please?

    3. If I opt to connect again Windows 8 with the Local account, what applications will be excluded.  I have a microsoft also account, but I prefer the Local account sign in to the.

    4. stupid question, but not Windows 8 come with folders "My Documents" and "My Photos" already installed or do I need to create those myself?  I looked at several tutorials, but I'm not clear on this issue.

    Hello.

    1. According to the website of "create a recovery USB disk", it is usually between 3 and 6 GB, 8 GB USB key should be a lot.
    2. To copy your photos and documents to Windows 8 of your flash pen, simply plug the flash drive, open Explorer (shortcut +E) and drag - move the files in the folders of photos and documents.
    3. With the help of a local account prevents you from using OneDrive for backups of files online and save your settings.  I recommend creating a local account first, and then 'connect' to a Microsoft account.  In this way, you get all the benefits of an online account without sacrificing your local account, and you can always disconnect it later without affecting your local account.
    4. Yes it is safe.  These folders are in the same place as usual (under C:\Users\YourName), but they appear also as shortcuts when you open Explorer, to facilitate access.

  • Reference Dell touchpad driver updated for Windows 10 new gesture

    Hello

    A new major upgrade for Windows 10 has been released a few days ago, and the update included a new gesture that allow the user to pass the workstations with 4 fingers on the touchpad and slide between the left or right to switch workstations.

    This new gesture does not work on my touchpad and I guess this can refer to the current version of the touchpad driver is not yet supported in this function because other gestures as three finger swipe to move all open windows and three finger tap to call Cortana are always works well for me.

    I was wondering if there is no update for the driver for the touchpad to soon, or all those were just my own question...

    Thank you!

  • Changing the settings on the selection of text using a Dell touchpad

    I have a Dell Vostro 3400 running Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. Text selection works unlike a touchpad I used - and I can not understand how to change the settings.

    To select text, I type, drag through the expression you want... and then I have to type (or left click) again to complete the selection. (Otherwise I can not go to cut/copy/etc.)  On my work computer, also a Dell and on my Mac, I don't have to do this last step: when I did drag, then I can cut, copy and so on.

    Where is the setting that would allow me to do on my Vostro?

    Probably the feature of the touchpad to "click lock" driver, it's keep your click maintained even when you finish selected, so you must type it in again so he can "let go" the mouse button.  I would check that the primary function.
