“Logitech M510 wireless mouse I have a 6 year old Dell Vostro 1510 laptop which I'm having issues with the touchpad; the pointer will suddenly freeze up after using it for about 30 minutes. Could I disable the touchpad on my Dell Vostro 1510 laptop and use one of the Logitech M510 wireless mice instead to navigate on my laptop or is there still a chance the computer's pointer might still freeze up while I'm using the Logitech M510 wireless mouse instead of the touchpad on the laptop?”

not to my knowledge, when i installed the wireless mouse, it overrode the touch pad, but the function of the touch pad was still there
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is a common problem with that model Right click on the open space of the desk top > Personalize > Mouse Pointers (yes, mouse Pointers ) > click the red pointer to change touchpad settings > Button settings > disable both Touchpad and Touchpad buttons > OK If after disabling it you have a different problem with your mouse driver if it continues

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you can diable touchpad and use any mouse. Chances are you're having a driver issue with the touchpad. Alternatively, you could check with Dell on updated drivers.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it will work and you will not have to disable the touchpad. It will work with Windows 7 and 8. I do not know about earlier versions of Windows.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You should be able to put the unifying receiver in a USB port and use the mouse without having to disable anything. if the whole computer freezes after 30 minutes then you might have a bigger problem than a faulty track pad.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I've been using a wireless mouse (and keyboard) with my laptop for quite a while. I did not need to disable the touch-pad - just plugged it in and it worked. No idea whether the freeze-up problem you are having will affect the wireless mouse, but I would give it a try.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Sure, if the freezing is because of the trackpad it would help ...
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If the issue is just with the touchpad, then in theory using an external input device (ie - M510 mouse) would solve your problem.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.most likely not, but is not guaranteed. I would find a mouse to borrow to test this out first before buying. You can always buy something and return it to :)
