Maybe you need to go to the Dell web site and download the new drivers/utils that will allow you to configure your touchpad.

The old models of Dell laptop usually have this problem. I had the latitude just like you do and had the same problem. That was the problem from motherboard of the laptop. If you currently have problem with keys 8, i, k, and &, you will have problem with other keys on the other days.  Thing I did to fix my laptop is taking part number of the motherboard and order a new motherboard from Dell, problem's gone. The motherboard is around $100, if you don't want to repair it, try to sell it to someone who can fix it.

If you want to enable "Click and Drag", go to System Preferences, then to the "Keyboard & Mouse" Plist. In there you can choose in the "clicking" tab whether to enable or disable this feature.\nIf your hardware is damaged or is not working even with the Drag function enabled, then you must replace your Touchpad.

there should be a function button on your keyboard labeled "fn."  hold that and on the f1-f12 keys look for one that looks like it has a monitor on it.  press that until your laptop monitor comes back

>_> That was a real question?!\n\nOK, almost all laptops have a Fn or Function key, and the IOP,JKL,and BNM< keys work as a keypad when the Fn key is pressed.

EEEK, this is the hardest of the slots to fill because the DIMM A slot on this machine is located under the keyboard, so you actually have to take it off to get to it. \n\nNOTE MAKE SURE YOU TURN THE POWER OFF AND TAKE OUT THE BATTERY BEFORE WORKING ON YOUR MACHINE. ALSO, invest in a WRIST GROUNDING STRAP. you dont want to ruin your machine with something that could have been avoided with a $6 fix.\n\nYou have to take off the two screws at the top of the keyboard underneath the screen, then lift it up until it slides forward easy. Under the left side cntrl key, there should be a tab connecting the keyboard to the machine, release it. \n\nPutting in memory\n\nDell systems are very specific and only will take dell parts. I included the link below on where to buy them. When you install the card, make sure you press down hard enough to hear the click, but not too hard so u damage the module. Laptop memory is very tiny, so if you have large fingers it could be problematic.

I also have a dell laptop. My brightness controls are on the keyboard.  They look like a little sun on the arrow keys.  You need to hold down the function key to control them.

your touchpad is very sensitive i suppose. if you have synaptics touchpad, in the toolbar manager, you will see a touchpad kind of icon.  right click it, and see if there is a checkmark next to "Tap to Click".  if so, then deactivate it and you won't have this problem again.

There would be a button in the first row of buttons in the laptop .. click that and follow instructions ?

Sometimes it might be a convenience feature, such as scrolling when you start your finger at the right edge of it.  On most notebooks, the top margin of the touchpad serves as the back/forward.  To turn it off:\n\nGo to Start/Control Panel\nDouble-click Mouse\nlook for the appropriate option to shut that feature off (Can't tell you the specifics; I'm just going off of memory from my last notebook)\nClick OK and close the Control Panel

That is a difficult one. \n\nFirstly right click on MY COMPUTER and select PROPERTIES, select the HARDWARE tab,and click the DEVICE MANAGER button.. Check for anything with a yellow exclimation or a red X through it. If it's under HUMAN INTERPHASE devices then iether yout touchpad is disable(red X) or the driver is not present/corrupted (yellow !).\n\nIf there is nothing there or you can't see the human interphase device tab then it is very likely that the cable connecting your touchpad to the internal board has become disconnected or loose. \n\nThe keyboard might also not be making proper contact at the connector. if you recently smacked the laptop or some one bumped it hard it is very likely. \n\nYou can open the laptop up but i think it would be best to contact a toshiba or an experienced I.T. technician.

I will tell you a solution for a similar problem, hopefully it may be useful to all. \nIf the cursor is stuck/frozen when we use the touchpad it can be solved by the following method.\nSwitch off the laptop, disconnect it from power, remove the battery and keep pressing the Power switch for 30 seconds.\nThen reconnect battery and the external powere in that order and power on the laptop. the cursor will be moving again.\n\nProbably you can try this and let us know.. My laptop was a toshiba satellite series one..
