    The scrolly thing on my touchpad isn't working, i've already gone to control panel--mouse--dell touchpad, but when I go there the screen just freezes. And before, there was this icon on the lower right hand side of my desktop (near the clock) of the Dell Touchpad, but now I can't even click on it--it's inactive or something.

    So yeah, my question is: How do I make the scroll bar on my touchpad to work again?

    I've got a Dell Inspiron 1520.

    Yeah I would like to know how you fixed it. I also have a dell inspiron 1520 and the scroll bar on the touchpad doesn't work very well at all. When I first got it it worked good but then it seemed to quit, I downloaded the driver on Dell's website and that fixed it for about a day but now it's not working very well again.
