    Lately my curser seem to be frozen when i open the laptop(acer 5515) or sometimes when i reboot. I tried taking the battery out(found this silution on another site) but it still does it. Any ideas?

    Does it do the same thing in Safe mode?

    Have you tried doing a System Restore back to a date when it was working correctly?

    doesnt do it all the time, but the first time i did system restore and it fixed it but its done it several times just not all the time. Never did it for many years. Sometimes i hit f7 and fn+f7 and it seems to unlock it after many tries.
    well now it locked while useing it, i've got a wireless mouse working so i can get around on it, i checked the device manager and checked the properties on the dell touchpad and it says its working right, but its not?

    Have you checked Dell for Synaptics Driver updates? Neil.

    yes I checked the driver update, did a system restore and started in safe mode, its still frozen, it might just be the pad has gone bad as the buttons haven't been working for a few months but the touchpad still moved the curser.

    Sounds like a new pad assembly is required. Neil.
