Make sure you don't have the mouse pad locked. Normally there is a
button at the top in the middle of the mouse pad that locks or unlocks
it. Some models will have you to tap twice in the upper left corner of
the touch pad to toggle it from locked to unlocked. Other will have you
to Press and Hold the Alt Key or the FN function key located at the
lower left portion of the keyboard then hit the key that toggles the
touchpad. The key that toggles the touchpad will have the icon of a
finger pointing at a square which represents the touchpad.
Try going into the Touchpad settings to make sure you have the
Defaults set. Click Start/Control Panel and look for Mouse or Touchpad.
Reinstall the touchpad drivers.
Get online
and got to www.google.com In the google search box type: "Samsung
Support" (without the quotes and put your manufacturer name before Support).
Look for downloads and drivers. Enter your model number and operating
system when requested. Download and install the drivers.
Maybe your touchpad mouse has been hijacked by a virus or infection.
Get into safe mode and see how it functions.
Turn off the computer, then hit the power button to turn it
back on and immediately start hitting the F8 key repeatedly until you see SAFE
MODE. Take the Safe Mode option and let it boot up. Safe Mode will look
different to you, the screen will be darker and the icons bigger, this is
normal.
If the cursor behaves in Safe Mode repeat the process to boot into safe
mode, but this time select Safe Mode With Networking (this will give you
internet connectivity). When it boots up, open your internet browser
and download and install MalwareBytes.
Go to www.google.com and in the search box type:
"Download cnet Malwarebytes" (without the quotes). Download and
install malwarebytes from the sites download.cnet/malwarebytes. When the
site opens up click on the Green Download button on the left. Do not
click the Red Download button, that's junk. When it finishes installing the Gui
Interface will open up with an offer to Accept a Trial Version or
Decline. CLICK DECLINE you want the totally free version. Run a
QUICK SCAN. As it scans, if it finds infections the number will be in
red. When it finishes scanning, click SHOW RESULTS. A notepad text
document will open up showing you the results. You can close the text
document and go back to the Gui Interface where you will click REMOVE SELECTED
RESULTS. The objects will already be selected for you. When it
finishes removing the objects click ok and it will sometimes reboot your
machine.
Try coming up in safe mode and selecting last known good configuration. Get safe mode by powering up laptop and pushing F2 on top row of keys. It can be fussy to get it to come up. Try it again if it doesn't come up the first time.
Just want to verify which key pad you referring to? The alpha numeric keypad or the touch pad for the mouse pointer control?
Try this first. Power on laptop then hold down F2, check if you can access BIOS. If yes try F8 then boot to safe mode. Check if you can login to windows in safe mode. If yes then do a system restore from the date where every thing was working fine.
Not sure what OS you have, so I'm giving generic advice here:
under computer management or hardware, launch your Device Manager.
Scroll down the device manager to "mice and pointing devices".
Click the "+" to expand the list.
Find your touchpad on the list and right click it.
Select properties.
In the window, look for a way to enable the device.
Click OK.
It should work.
the touch pad could have simply failed, most OS will interpret the mouse pad as a mouse to make it work, so if its gone its most likely not working, I mouse attached to a usb or one of the ps 2 connections might give you a mouse back temp you can replace most mouse pads. hope this helps
Found a nice solution at another website: switch off the pc, unplug the power supply cable AND remove battery. Press "on" switch for 20 seconds. Now re-install battery, plug back power supply cable, and switch on. Worked for me (what exactly worked for me I don't know but hey)
try to repair os installation it might be happening due to some driver conflicts . in safe mode only basic drivers like keyboard mouse etc will work other device drivers have no role in safe mode try it
after installtion of xp machine sets its own passwaord
Attempt to reinstall windows?
