Got it to work!!! It wasn´t a driver problem. It seems that during the installation of win8 the touchpad got disabled in bios. Problem: there is no Point in the bios to aktivate / deaktivate the touchpad. As nothing worked and i nearly wanted to reinstall win7 I got an strange Idea: reinstall the bios from A12 to A12 and guess what! Tocuhpad works now perfektly with ALPS-Driver found here in Forum. bad ass.

Hi THX Simon,

This system has not been tested with Windows 8. The drivers for Windows 8 are not available for this system. You may refer to the link for a compatible system tested by Dell with Windows 8 http://dell.to/RnDAFu

You may try to install the driver in compatibility mode:

  • Download the driver from the following link http://dell.to/YGYS1Y
  • Right Click the driver installation file and select Properties -- > Compatibility Tab.
  • Select Windows 7 from the list in the following image



  • Click Apply -- > OK
  • Right Click the file and select the 'Run As Administrator' to install the driver

Please reply in case you have further questions.
