frozen laptop cursor
When I fire up my laptop, and everything loads, the mouse cursor won't move.
It is frozen in the middle of the screen. Is there anything I can do to resolve this? Thanks! Neil Scott neilscott@mail.com |
Re: frozen laptop cursor
have you tried using a usb mouse to see if it will move?

Re: frozen laptop cursor
I just hooked up a USB mouse and rebooted. Same thing. Cursor is frozen in
on the screen. I have never used a usb mouse before, so perhaps it has to be installed? What about starting it in safe mode? The problem is, I can't remember how to do that!

Re: frozen laptop cursor
Well, I remembered how to go into safe mode (F8) but it still loaded what I
assume is a corrupt driver from the internal mouse pad. Any suggestions??? HELP!

Re: frozen laptop cursor
insert you driver disk for the mouse pad and use the key board to
navigate around to reload your mouse pad drivers.

Re: frozen laptop cursor
Well, after spending close to two hours online with a tech guy - - - it
seems there is a touch-pad shut off switch between the keyboard the touch pad that was inadvertently switched off. What a terrible freakin' design! Anyway, I'm good to go again. Thanks for your help, D. Ford!
