    Hi, Fellow NBR, I just received my new Dell XPS M1530 just under an hour ago, everything seems to be working fine. The only problem is sometimes my cursor would click on things automatically when its directly on a link without me pressing the left click button on the touchpad. Or sometimes it would highlight text automatically while I am using the touchpad scroll feature.

    Anyone know what's going on with my cursor/pointer.

    Here's is my specs.

    Dell XPS M1530
    Windows Vista Home Premium
    T8300
    4gigs of ram

    Hi, I have the EXACT same problem you're having. I got my laptop a week ago and it came with the new AO9 bios thing.

    Also my scrolling does not work.

    I figured out how to solve this problem. You have to enable the driver to load up at startup. You can go run msconfig then enable it from services. It's the Alps Delltouch thing.
