    I'm having a really weird but annoying problem with my trackpad. I can't seem to get the finger gestures to work anymore. They were working fine earlier today, but now the only thing that works is the horizontal scrolling and the tap to click. All the other gestures including vertical scrolling, the three and four finger gestures, etc don't work anymore. I've tried reinstalling the new trackpad driver, shutting down my computer, everything. I'm very frustrated. Any help?

    From doing research it appears the trackpad stopped working right after windows installed updates, which is the case with several other people. I reinstalled the original trackpad software and it's working perfectly fine, so it's just the new trackpad driver that's having problems with the windows update. I guess ill just have to wait for dell to release an updated driver
