m17x r2 issues

Hey got my r2 in the mail all i can say it runs fo much better then the r1! no audio problems got a small video problem which i think should be fixed soon, the laptop was working fine ive set it up so the touchpad disables when the usb mouse is plugged in when i pulll it out it should turn back on but it doesnt. im not sure what problems stopped it maybe dameon tools printer driver or g25 software there the last few things i installed untill it stopped working any ideas

 

also when u use the volume buttons it doesnt show up no the screen what the volume is! it changes the volume but it doesnt show it up on the screen

 

Update to 10.3 Catalyst drivers, dells shipped drivers dont get along with OSD.

 

hey whats osd?

 

what where can i find the drivers? the usb mouse touchpad used to work just stopped today when i pull the mouse out the touchpad remains off

 

Press fn+tpad to turn it back on

 

hey it comes up on the screen and says on and the touchpad flases for 1 secs then goes off and it doesn work any ideas?

 

Is the external mouse connected?

 

Yes and no! it only works if i put the setting off so it keeps the moust pad on all the time

 

So where's the problem?
If you set it to turn off the pad when on external mice it disables the pad. If you turn that function off the pad is active.
That's how it supposed to work.

 

No isnt it meant to turn the pad back on when u unplug the usb? thats what it was doing before now it doesnt.

 

where can i get the latest drivers for the ati mobility radeon hd 4870?

 

hey was just on my old r1 and formated it and was installing programs drivers etc to see what caused it to stop working i think ive found it logtiech gaming software for the g25 http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/441/131&cl=us,en&hub=1 im formating my r1 again and ill install the software again and see if it stops the touchpad from enabling after u pull the usb mouse out

 

I'm havin the same problems in terms of the mouse. yea my mouse is now broken... When i first got my r2 i installed my death adder and the next day the mouse does not work after i plug it in. Now after talking with razer support my mouse is broken and needs replacement.

ETA: also when i installed my saitek joystik, the driver screwed with the touch pad, the touch pad would not work so had to unistall it.

 

Use the search
beta 10.3 is what u want

 

i had that same track pad issue. eventually i just stopped bothering with it and left it on or disabled it manually. most of the time i leave it on and it doesnt normally effect my gaming also i like the box in the dark so i know where to put my can of pop.

 

And how about some punctuation marks? Serioulsy hard to read what u write

 

lol thanks guys just formated old r1 and pluged in usb mouse it turned off the touchpad, when i pull out the usb it turns the touchpad on as soon as you install the logitech gamming software and set up the g25 and unplug the usb mouse it wont turn the touchpad on! so ive found the problem just need a fix lucky i still had my old r1

 

Are you talking about R1 or R2, cause that was the title said 1!

 

i formated my old r1 to see if it was the logitech software that was causing the problems which it is, my r1 is getting picked up tomz and getting taken away because i have my r2 replacement

 

You know if you open Mouse properties under Device settings. There disable inernal pointing device when external usb pointing device is attached. You should be able to locate this in your taskbar and show hidden icons.

 

hey it shows on my task bar ive ran dell there gonna call me tomz, i dont think it would be a w7 problem just alienware or drivers etc

 

rang dell still waiting guys

 

Call Them? 800-alienware, Did you try installing updated Command center?
