How do I get my touchpad scroll and double click to work again?

You might be able to undo the restore with system restore by selecting the system restore that has the word “undo” in the title.

Example: “11/6/2009 6:32:38 PM Undo: Restore Operation”

There is not a way to “undo” system restore

You will need to reinstall the drivers somehow then I suppose.

I was looking at the Alps Glidepoint/stickpointer driver…but none of them on the dell website are compatible with windows 7.

Is the touch pad’s scrolling and double clicking only a problem in Firefox? Does it work fine elsewhere?

I dont have firefox…

It doesnt work in either of my browsers, IE, and chrome.

I would have recommended this if that was the case. You might consider uninstalling your current drivers then installing synaptic touch pad drivers instead. I don’t think I know of anything more that could possibly help you.

Did you install windows 7 on it yourself? If so then the install / system restore may have messed with it. Reinstalling the drivers should fix this. Even if the website doesn’t list windows 7 drivers just install Vista or XP ones. Did the computer come with restore disks with the drivers on them? Most laptops do so they should be on those disks

Start ——- Control Panel ——— Mouse

^ Yeah your touchpad might have just been turned off.

So, I started with Vista. Then, the day before (still with vista), i had problems with it, so had to use system restore. Thats when i noticed the touchpad wasnt working. Then, fed up with vista, i upgraded to windows 7. and the touchpad doesnt work still. :/

Update the driver.

Where would i go for that?

Ive already tried: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R113813&SystemID=LATITUDE%20PRECISION%20M70&servicetag=&os=WW1&osl=en&deviceid=2514&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=2&catid=-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=1&libid=17&typeid=-1&dateid=-1&formatid=-1&fileid=149404

doesnt seem to work… says not compatible
