    Hi
    I have dell inspiron N5100 bought couple of days ago. I have set up OS as win 7 ultimate. Every thing is running smooth.
    But for couple of things such as
    - enabling wireless
    - enabling bluetooth . I am struggling. I had tried the options provided in booklet.but no luck.

    I am struggling in activating touch pad as well.

    I will be thank ful for any help regards these two.
    thanks

    You should have a wireless hardeware button somewhere. Insure it is on. Go into control panel and find the icon that opens network connections. Make sure they are enabled. You should also have a wireless symbol of some sort in the task bar. Check this out also.
