  1. My mousepad wont let me click and drag anything


    Hi!

    I'm having a problem with my device. I cant click and drag anything using my mouse pad.

    I can click using the left mousepad button but I cant click with the right mousepad button and I cant click and drag using either of them.

    I've tried to look up possible solutions such as resetting my computer back to a certain date, but I'm not sure if that would work because I just received a new hard drive [The 6th of June], which wiped all my files and reset the whole computer already. I've also look at my mouse drivers and my sister said that they're all up to date.

    If you have any solutions they'd be greatly appreciated. My mousepad wont let me click and drag anything :)

    -------------------

    OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro

    System Model: Dell Inspiron 13-5378

  3. Mousepad drag issues: Is this a windows 10 problem?


    Is it just with the mousepad, or does using a full sized moused plugged in do the same?
