How can I enable the mouse touch pad on my Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop, so that I can tap to click?

It worked fine until yesterday.

Also, I already looked for that Dell touch pad icon next to the clock on the bottom right hand corner but it wasn't there.

It was there just yesterday though.How can I enable the mouse touch pad on my Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop, so that I can tap to click?I'm not sure what that other guy is talking about; this has nothing to do with a virus.



You just need to adjust your track pad settings.



1) Go here to read the manual for your laptop: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/sy鈥?/a>

-It explains how to use the trackpad on page 62

2) To change your settings, go to: Start--%26gt; Control Panel鈫?Hardware and Sound鈫?Mouse.

3) Somewhere in those settings will be an option to enable tap clicking.How can I enable the mouse touch pad on my Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop, so that I can tap to click?First, I would run an online virus scanner:

You could be infected, and that is what is causing the problem.



Save the output file from the scan because anything it finds, you will have to delete manually.



Next, I would go here and choose my operating system and locate the touchpad driver %26amp; download it - then install it again:
