    The touchpad of my laptop takes about 2 seconds to start working after ive used the keyboard. I think i have the latest synpatics touchpad driver version (v10.1.8), which is the same driver as mentioned in My Hive and is said to resolve the exact issues im having " Allows touchpad and keyboard to be used simultaneously."

    any ideas?

    Had the same problem, was driving me crazy!

    Click!

    Needless to say, official Alienware support was useless. Luckily the bright chaps on this forum were able to help ;)

    EDIT: Click on the link exiled gave me, it explains everything in picture form.
