I believe you may be referring to a "Touch Pad" since the inspiron is a laptop. You would need to go into the start menu, then control panel and then there is usually a setting for mouse or touchpad, you should be able to activate it there.
Consult Dell tech support if needed.
A mouse pad is simply a padded resting area for a Computer mouse. It requires no power to use.
It is called a clicker If you mean the built in mouse, it is called a touch pad or mouse pad.

The mouse is a sensitive touch device that records touch and movement and moves the cursor. if you add pressure, the cursor "clicks".
One advantage of using a mouse when working with a laptop is that it is much faster. It is also easier to use than the touch pad.
The best way to learn to use a touch pad is by using it. Its a very simple interface to use. Lightly touching it and moving your finger around on it moves the mouse pointer. Tapping it is like clicking the mouse button. You can double-tap it for a double click. Some touch pads have buttons adjacent to it so you can use these buttons like mouse buttons.
on your mouse pad on the very right slide your finger down it and it should scroll down
Well some computers have special key shortcuts. On my computer, a key turns off the mouse pad. You are probably clicking a keyboard shortcut.

A touch pad is the portion of a laptop that the user moves her finger over in order to operate the mouse. It works via sensors that connect the touch pad movements to the position of the mouse on the screen.
The plural of mouse pad is mouse pads.
