I have an E5530 here with the stick and am downloading the Alps driver now.

At least, they've never complained about it. You may want to check the driver version you're using.Ĭould also be an issue of not being an admin? I don't think my users have to keep changing theirs either. Unfortunately users have to disable it each time they login to their laptop.Īs far as I know the setting sticks on ours - they don't have to disable it every time they log on. Hope that helps!Īye, that's the temp fix I was referring to. Short of that, we used to pull the rubber cover off the stick itself.

It gives you the ability to control many aspects of the touchpad and buttons, including disabling the damn pointing stick! If you don't find the Alps driver on Dell's site, Google it and you should find a link that way. Go to Dell support and try to find the Alps driver for the touchpad, and install it.
