Inspiron 15R SE Touch Pad

Check all your icon tray by clicking on the upward arrow available (these are the icons you can see on the lower right corner of your screen). You should be able to add icons which might have your touchpad control panel to appear. Try to check it.

Thanks for the help, I did already know that though.

Im in the dell pointing devices panel but can not see the option to' Disable touch check '

Maybe its changed in the newer version?

Exactly the same problem here... I've updated the touchpad driver to the latest on the dell support site but still can't use the touchpad mouse at the same time as a keyboard key. There's no option for 'touchcheck' in the touchpad gui either.

Any ideas?

Still having problems with the touch pad & keyboard, cannot find the answer.

I've bought a SSD 240gb and am replacing the 1tb 5200rpm what was supplied with the laptop, thus having to reinstall windows. So I'll let you know if reinstalling windows corrects the problem.

Ok so after reinstalling windows I no longer have this problem.

I reinstalled windows onto a new SSD (laptop is ultra fast loading, less heat and less power consumption now). What I believe the problem is , is dells touch pad driver.

When I was installing the dell drivers I left out the dell touchpad driver, windows has installed a default driver to control this device.

This allows me to use the keyboard and touchpad at the same time.

If you do not want to reinstall windows you could try the following.

Uninstalling the touchpad driver from add/remove programs. Then reboot and allow windows to detect and install automatically.

( I would keep a USB mouse handy when doing this as you may lose the use of the touchpad, if so reinstall from the dell driver disk you get.)

Once windows has installed a default driver it should mean the problem is cleared.

Another way could be delete the device from device manager  checking the options also remove driver, then reboot.

Good Luck

Uninstalling the drivers worked for me, but it would be nice to still have the added functions the drivers add to the trackpad. It's probably a problem with the drivers. Hope dell fixes this soon.

I agree it would still be nice to have the features, although I would not advise anyone to use the dell drivers until this is fixed.

It really impaires the use of the trackpad and keyboard.

Does anyone know how long it usually takes dell to fix these kinds of bugs?

Has anyone found a fix other than uninstalling the dell touchpad drivers? Are there other drivers we could install to fix this?

No sorry, but why not uninstall them?

If there is something that the dell drivers do that you want to keep, then your better off looking for an application to do that seperately.

I'm not sure how long it would take dell to fix this. Maybe they think people would only want to use the keyboard or the touchpad not both at the same time.

Go to your Dell Touchpad properties and turn off "Palm Rejection."
