    For absolutely no reason at all my mousepads gone all funny, one minute is was working, the next.. ¯\(°_o)/¯. It just stopped registering touches on the whole left half, no movement or anything. However, the far right side still works, scrollbar and all, and if I start on the right side of the mousepad and drag into the left I can sometimes get movement on the right.. if that makes sense, movement at best is slow and jerky.

    Ive lurked through all the other threads and uninstalled drivers/reinstalled/updated/adjusted etc. to no avail, I've emailed Dell and they had no clue either. So, I ask, can someone tell me what the hell is going on and how do I fix it. Thanks :)
