Comment:

I have a dell inspiron 3800 and it comes with both a touch pad and a track point mouse. The track point mouse isn't being recognized and although I think I found the problem that I don't have the right drivers I don't have the system CD so I can't get the driver.
This is driving me nuts, I the touchpad works just fine but the trackpoint doesn't. Please someone help me.

Check the BIOS settings, some DELLs have a Mouse setting!

I solved the problem, it turns out the wire for the stick mouse was disconnected.
Thanks for the help anyway..
