Cursor is jumping all over the screen before you can point at what you need - Dell D620 - Windows xp pro

Is it powering on at all? If so, do you see the Dell screen? If you do not see the Dell screen, it's not even POSTing. That usually points to a hardware problem. If you are seeing the Dell screen and it's not loading Windows, that is usually a software issue related to Windows (or it could be bad sectors on your HDD). If you are not seeing the Dell screen, try removing the battery and using only the power cord to power it with. If, however, it is not powering on at all, try a different power cord.

Maybe it's an driver installation order problem, the system needs the audio drivers installed prior to the modem since I believe they are both on the High Definition Bus. Here is Dell's official install order for the D620 with integrated Intel graphics...


1. Install the Dell Notebook System Software on a Dell Portable system from the Drivers, Utilities and Applications CD.
2. Install the Intel® Mobile Chipset Driver.
3. Install the SigmaTel STAC92xx Audio Driver.
4. Install the Alps GlidePoint/StickPointer Driver on Your Dell Portable System
5. Install the Conexant D110 MDC 1.5 v.92 modem driver.
6. Install the Intel® 945GM/945PM video driver in Microsft® Windows® operating systems.
7. Install the Broadcom 57xx Gigabit Integrated Controller Driver
8. Install the Dell™ Wireless 350 Bluetooth® driver in Microsoft® Windows® operating systems.
9. Install the wireless network adapter in a Latitude D-series portable computer.
10. Install the O2Micro OZ601 Cardbus Controller in Microsoft® Windows® operating systems.

This sounds like a video issue. Try starting the system into safe mode (after the dell screen, tap F8 to get the startup menu and then select safe mode) When in safe mode, go to the control panel and remove the display adapter driver from the device manager under System > hardware tab. Try booting into normal mode windows- you should be able to get into windows at that point. Download and reinstall the graphics driver from support.dell.com. If the issue reoccurs after you've reinstalled the graphics driver, it means that the video card on your system has gone out. At that point, contact Dell technical support if you are in warranty to get service- if not, try pricing the replacement video card from Ebay or Dell parts service.

Oh man!...
First, the mouse:
[Control Panel]
[Mouse]
[Pointer Options] tab
uncheck "Automatically move pointer to the default button..."

TouchPad:
Right-click [My Computer]
[Manage]
[Device Manager]
open the +Mice and other pointing devices
Right-click on your touchpad entry (if you can't tell which one, pick one - no harm will come)
You can update driver...
or you can uninstall it and WINDOWS WILL RE_INSTALL IT>

Let us know the outcome ... and how many seconds it took to fix...

you will need to reload the drivers with dell laptops there is a order in which you have to install the drivers it is shown on the right side of the drivers download page

Mine did that too, its normal, the actions undearneath maybe stuck just a little and thinks it is required to move when not

It's easy to miss the point at which you hit Ctrl + F11. You need to hit Ctrl + F11 at the point you see the blue bar across the top of the screen, it will display www.dell.com. If this is still not working you can use the XP operating system CD to reinstall XP and the Dell drivers CD to reinstall the sound, video, network and other drivers. If Dell didn't send you the operating system CD, you should contact them.

The question there is that, is the original operating system of the dell d620 is windows xp or vista, because it wont work properly if the drivers of the system is not installed, especially if the hardware is for vista but there is a workaround try to find the drivers of your system for xp on support.dell.com

You may have to set the monitors resolution to match the pc as they may be different.
