    Hi,

    I recently reformated Windows and reinstalled all drivers however the touchpad scrollbars no longer work (nor is there the touchpad icon in the notification area). Have I missed something?

    What should I do?

    I also reformatted my Vostro 1500 and I don't have that touchpad icon on my quick start. Do you have a list of what programs were deleted?

    I think your missing the "Dell Touchpad" program. Do you have that? It should show in the "add remove" programs list.

    Get the drivers CD out. It might be on there.
