    Recently received a m1330. The touchpad scrolling doesn't work. Is there anything I have to do to activate it? I've done the Bloatware removal guide with a clean install. Do I need to load one of the Dell applications?

    Thanks

    You need the drivers for the touchpad.

    When you do the bloatware removal you also need to reload your drivers afterwards. The important point to note is that Device Manager will still find the touchpad and Windows will provide its basic functionality even without a driver. But to use the scrolling and other extra features you have to download the drivers from support.Dell.com or elsewhere.
