XPS M1330 touchpad
One annoying issue I have found is with the Dell touchpad software Synaptics points device driver version 9.18.1.6
I increase the speed of the touch pad settings and it works fine however after i restart the laptop the software has defaulted back to its original settings. Has anybody else had the same problem and is there a resolution?

here is what i found on the synaptic site
After I have rebooted my system, the settings for Double-Click Speed and Pointer Speed revert to their default settings.
The device driver for a different pointing device is interfering with these settings. If you have recently installed a driver for a pointing device, you need to uninstall that driver (or drivers) to regain control of the Double-Click Speed and Pointer Speed settings.
I did install software for the logitch bluetooth mouse hoever it stated that it would not install the pointer software as i already had touchpad drivers installedYes Many people are having the same issue. It is a known bug in the software.
I am yet to find a working fix for this, but I do know there are people on other forums that have modified these drivers themselves for other laptop makes.

If I come across anything that will help, I will post it here.
