What you can initially do is to update the driver.

  1. Press on the windows key + R. A run box will appear.
  2. Type devmgmt.msc then click on ok. The device manage will appear.

  1. Click on the plus sign besides mice and other pointing devices.
  2. Right click on the item that will be pertaining to your touch pad.
  3. Choose update driver and let the internet work for you.
If this does not work, you will need to totally reinstall the driver.
  1. On the same screen (device manager) right click on the touch pad driver again, the choose uninstall.
  2. follow the prompts for uninstallation. You might wanna uninstall any mouse related drivers as well (these application can also cause conflicts thus causing your touch pad not to work)
  3. download the touch pad driver available from the link I provided below.
  4. follow the prompts for installation.
  5. restart

It this does not work, you will need to call Dell Technical Support to have the laptop serviced. That is if the portable still has warranty. If not, then you will need to buy a USB mouse as a replacement.

Hi iam using dell vastro A860 laptop just recently face one major problem laptop internol spaeker sound not working when i use headphone sound working good what hapend the sound is notworking iternel...

Very possibly you muted the sound. Check the little speaker icon in the system tray. When you click it you should see if it is muted or not. Muting the speaker does not mute the headphones, as a general rule.
