If I have helped you resolve your problem, please consider giving me a good rating. Thank you.
You must reinstall your audio controller, or since you did reinstall windows XP on your system make sure that all the drivers for your inspiron 1300 is installed to make all your devices function properly on the system go to your manufacturers website and download all your driver from there.
find your service tag it will be asked in the drivers and download part of the website.
just uninstall old driver and then you should install a new and updated touchpad driver in your system.
then restart your system. its a software issue.
for new driver go to dell.com at drivers and download.
okay
You can download the drivers from Dell WEB site, the support download page. Make sure you select your model desktop or laptop, better still, type in the Service Tag number, it is printed on the label on the bottom of the laptop and on the back or sides of a desktop. (If the Service Tag label is missing then go into the BIOS setting and on one of the BIOS pages, the Service Tag number will be displayed). This will open the page where the specific drivers for your model computer are located. Also make sure you select the Windows XP or Vista version of the drivers for your Windows operating system. Click on this link to download the drivers: - http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen
I have a suggestion/solution for this that I need you to try. Here it is:
first, go to add or remove programs, look for Creative/SoundBlaster and Sigmatels listed there and uninstall every one of them. Then, go to Device manager and uninstall Creative/Soundblaster/Sigmatel under sound and game controllers. reboot the system.
Got to Start>Control Panel>System. Click on the hardware tab. Click on Device manager. Go down to Sound, Video and game controller. See if the Sigma is listed there. If it is, right click an select "Uninstall" Then reboot. Windows should detect it, and reinstall it. If that fails, go to Start>Add/Remove Programs and uninstall any Sigma Software. Download this registry cleaner, http://www.majorgeeks.com/download458.html and save it to your desktop and run it. Reboot, and hope.
You can also try downloading the newest drivers, here,
running windows xp? okay click start and scroll to control panel. under control panel scroll to system icon and click. the system property box will open. click hardware then the device manager tab. clik on the sound, video and game controllers, this will open and you will see a list of installed sound devices/codecs as well as video codecs. see if the sigmatel codec is listed it is possible that it may be present but not set as the default. this can happen when installed programs such as media player, real player,quicktime.. install their own drivers to control the video and audio components.
the codec is simply a driver program which interfaces between the computers installed hardware and the computers software, IE real player. I have an inspiron e1505, I ran into a similar situation and lost my sigma tel driver. it had to be reinstalled.
PAY CLOSE ATTENTION-------------------
GO TO THE DELL COMPUTERS SUPPORT WEBSITE.
type dellsupport on web search navigate to the downloads section where it gives you the option of inputing your computer make and model, then select your oprating system. look for the downloads for audio devices, you should be able to find the sigma tel codec available for download. save the file to your hard drive in a location where you can access it again.
okay back to correcting the problem on the device manager display
under sound, video and game controllers. if you do not see the sigmatel codec then run the download from dell for the sigmatel and it will install automatically. hopefully this will correct your problem, it sounds to me like it is a driver problem the above steps will definately identify the sourcee and should provide solution to your problem
