Need to swipe touchpad numerous times for it to move

attach mouse and remove the touch pad driver in device manager. re install default driver.

Yes, it is annoying. I solved it by going into mouse advanced settings and uncheck the check box for Enable Edge Swipes. If you don't have this option in track pad properties, then you need to go to Synaptics website, (If you have a Synaptics touchpad), and download their latest software and install it. It will tell you that it is better to use the OEM version, but in my case, they had taken that option out of the touchpad properties.

"to copy and paste a paragraph" - I just used my c7 to copy the prior phrase from you the text in your question and to paste it into this "add your solution" answer box. Here's how I did it...... 1-I placed the cursor in front of the word "to", and while holding the touchpad down with my left finger, swiped the cursor through the phrase to the end of the word "paragraph" (thereby highlighting the desired phrase), then lifted both hands. 2- With the cursor over the end of the highlighted phrase, I used my left finger to hold down the "alt" key to the left of the touchpad the clicked the touchpad causing the drop-down copy menu to appear, then lifted both hands. 3-I then used the touchpad to move the cursor over the word "copy" in the drop-down menu and clicked the touchpad.
4-Then I placed the cursor in this "answer" text-box clicked once once. Next I held down the "alt" key to the left of the touchpad and clicked the touchpad to cause the "paste" drop-down menu to appear and raised both hands. Finally I moved the cursor over the word "paste" in the drop-down menu and clicked the touchpad, thereby successfully copying and pasting the phrase from your question. PS - an alternative to holding the left alt key and clicking to get the drop-down menu is to place two fingers on the touchpad (about a half inch apart) and click with both fingers simultaneously. The latter method only works about 75% of the time for me, so I recommend using the alt key.

Contact's in wiper switch worn or corroded! Replacement needed is it a ford? Or Toyota? :)

Connect a USB mouse to the laptop. If it works without problem then your touchpad (palmrest) has a problem and needs to be replaced.

my touch pad mouse on my asus laptop will only work in safe mode, help

You will need to go to www.support.dell.com there you will have to download the corect drivers from the touchpad,as it would seem that you have a driver problem.If not you might have to replace the palmrest.
Good Luck
