Have a dell inspiron 1545 how do i access

Hi,

There is no button/ key to turn off Internal Mouse (Touchpad) in a Dell Inspiron 1545 so you may try following the below steps which might help:

(1)Click start.
(2)Type device in the search box and select device manager.
(3)Double click on Mice and other pointing devices.
(4)Right click on the Internal mouse and select disable.

Thanks and Regards.

Try right clicking on the speaker icon in the right lower corner. This should open the sound properties settings for everything

Connect a USB mouse.
Then, in Control Panel, access the 'Mouse' panel, and "enable" the touchpad.

Try using the Mouse settings in the Control Panel, (Start>Control Panel> Mouse> Pointer Options)

a dirty pad will malfunction. FORTUNATELY, the 1545 usually has a good warranty, so before you wait any longer, get Dell on the phone and get it fixed. You will get it back in 10 days, like new.

You need to install the Dell touchpad drivers and application from the Dell support website to access the properties. You can download the drivers from the link after you select the correct Operating system version: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&ServiceTag=&SystemID=INSPIRON1545&os=WLH&osl=en&catid=&impid=. Save the file on desktop and right click on it, to Run as Administrator. Install the drivers and reboot your system. Now you would be able to access the Touchpad properties from the Mouse properties in Control Panel.

Right click on bottom toolbar (on desktop).. click on touchpad settings when touchpad window appears. Then again on "touchpad settings" disable TouchCheck. Next go to Zoom Settings and disable Zoom.
Its only been 10 minutes since I performed these acts.. but, so far so good.. Good luck,

If you do not see a Touchpad icon in your systray(lower right), go to:

Start/Control Panel/System

On the left choose "Device Manager".

Select "Mice and other pointing devices" and highlight "Dell Touchpad"

Either right click and "Uninstall" or click the uninstall icon at the top.

Restart your machine and it will automatically update the driver from Dell which will put the Touchpad icon back in the system tray.

Click on this icon and go to "Device Select"

Check the "Disable Touchpad/Pointing stick when external USB mouse id present.

Install the touchpad driver.
