Would the reason the pointing device doesnt show in the bios be because I have no driver installed?After I formatted the new HD I fired up the puter and the display was a small square in the middle of the screen.So I inserted the Dell disc and installed the video driver and nothing else.(all the dell bloatware is also on that disc and I dont want that).Since then the puter has run well until this cursor thing started again.I thought that not haveing the driver installed would be the same as disabling it.Am I wrong?
