I have a fairly old Dell Inspiron laptop. Recently, I formatted the hard-drive and installed Windows 2000 (I got rid of Windows ME). All seems to be working fine (I can work on word, get on the internet... etc.). However, there is one problem that I cant seem to fix.
A while back, I opened up the laptop to see if there was anything wrong inside (dust, other foreign material, etc.) - This was back when i had windows ME. Since that time, I have always been using an external mouse using the PS/2 Connection, so I probably didnt notice if the touchpad wasnt working. The pointing stick doesnt work either. I thought that the driver was messed up, so I got the latest version of the driver from Dell's website. It still doesnt work. When I went into Control Panel to check the status of the touchpad, and it says that its working properly. Why am i then not able to use the touchpad or the pointing stick?
Thanks
