So recently i went through some stuff with my laptop which i think i had a virus. I'm pretty sure i got rid of it but now my trackpad / mouses will not work on it. I have tried to so system restore but that did not work. I can't do a factory reset because i bought this laptop from a pawnshop and they didn't take the password off of it, which sucks. So now i have to navigate everything by windows key and arrow keys.


What should i do to fix this? I don't know what to search online.
I have a Dell Inspiron N5050

Just download the drivers for it.

What you need is under the "Input" drop-down thing.

Okay, but can i put it on a USB or something then load it from there using the Arrow keys because i can not move the cursor AT ALL on my laptop (I'm using my desktop right now )

You should be able to, but why not just plug in the mouse from your desktop?

Sounds like it's not just your input drivers, then.
