please go to the website above, there you will find out how to setup your touchpad.

Some Dell inspiron 8600 doesnt have a built in wireless card only bluetooth. But if you have one, just press Fn+F2 and it will enable your wireless connection. Hope this helps.

Hello tanglefoot,

No worries; the hard drive is located under the laptop. Turn the computer over. Use a standard #1 Phillips screwdriver to remove the M3 x 3-mm screw.


Unscrew it and slide down the hard disk.

Here is where you can download the instruction with illustration. You should be looking at page 27 of 77.

Good luck and hope this helps.

Click here and click the link to download all on the upper right hand side of the page. Instruction are embedded in the page and the download themselves for each individual download, including what they do and so on...... Unzip and installation of all these is highly recommended to restore your system back to factory functionality......i assure you that the battery meter shortcut is not the only function missing from your system.....you just haven't found the rest yet, and may never need them for that matter, but still i do recommend installing all the downloads that are available for your device, and don't worry, if there is anything that needs to be overwritten during installation, let if overwrite...you'll be just fine..... so there ya go, sry i cant walk you through the whole process but there wouldn't be enough room for me to spell it all out on here.

GOOD LUCK AND PLS RATE THIS POST!! :D

Use a computer that is connected to the Internet, then download and copy the drivers on to a CD or USB menory stick and install them on your computer.

You can download the drivers from Dell WEB site, the support download page. Make sure you select your model laptop, better still, type in the Service Tag number, it is printed on the label on the bottom of the laptop. This will open the page where the specific drivers for your model laptop are located. Also make sure you select the Windows XP or Vista version of the drivers for your Windows operating system. Click on this link :- http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen

First open the Control Panel -> Keyboard Layout. Look for the dropdown list for different keyboard models. Scroll to the Dell models and try e.g. the Dell Mulimedia USB Keyboard layout. Stop the GUI with Ctl+Alt+Return, login again and maybe your multimedia buttons will work now.

If there is no keyboard layout that fits your needs, you may download the programs keytouch and keytouch editor, which are very helpful creating your own layout.

Click Start->(Settings) Control Panel->(Classic View) Mouse.

If there are not enough tabs to configure, then install first Alps touch pad driver for Dell Inspiron 8600.

I can't say that I've ever seen this, all the drivers you need are on the support.dell.com site.

Download the Alps Touchpad driver for the Inspiron 8600 from the FTP site of Dell (http://ftp.us.dell.com/input/R113813.EXE)

Let me know if this helped!
