It may not click. If it does not get recognized by your computer as a new drive, you may have it inserted upside down or there may be a problem with the adapter.

There is a setting in your Control Panel/Mouse, which is a check box to enable it to hide the mouse pointer when not in use. Disable that and see if it helps.

The erratic pointer in the dell inspiron 1545, is a common fault. The usual cure, is to unistall the driver. Reboot install the driver again. Also check your graphics settings. If that doesnt cure the problem. You will need to overwrite/erase your hard drive do a fresh install.

Plz check the memory card(s) inserted properly in slot.

Assuming you mean it starts to load, then crashes and disappers. First ensure machine has been restarted. Then if that makes no difference use system restore to go back to a time when it last definitely worked. Without giving your operating system, cant give you instructions how to use system restore, you'll need to look that up. Its very simple and only takes a few minutes and will almost certainly allow IE to load.
