Frozen screen and mouse pointer gone

Go to your desktop, right click and press Properties. Go to Settings, and get your Resolution(SomethingxSomething, usually 1024x768). Then go to your Ingame settings and set your video resolution to the same one as your desktop.

Does it happen on a specific application or all over your screen? Are you using a special mouse/tracking ball/pointing device? Is this a laptop or a desktop? if you use a USB "simple" mouse does it work. Seems to me like a driver problem.

press ctrl alt delete keys simultaneously. and if there are programs running end all tasks. use your tab keys to shift from one choice to another.

If you have a manual for the notebook, check to see if you can use the function key and the similarly coloured key on the keyboard which enables/disables the touch pad. Usually you can disable the mouse pointer touch pad with this FUNCTION key + MOUSE key when pressed together. Often these keys have the same colour (usually blue). The purpose is to disable the touch pad when you are using an external USB or wireless mouse, then you press the 2 keys again together to enable the touch pad once you have removed the USB/wireless mouse.

If that doesn't work, borrow a USB mouse and attach it to your notebook to use temporarily while you diagnose the problem.

Yes, you need to update the mouse driver to work properly. And reinstall.

Hi,
From your description of the problem, it looks as if the screen has rotated by 90 degrees.

To solve this problem, just press CTRL+ALT+UP arrow keys together. Hope this solves your problem Thanks.

Try en external USB mouse, if that still doesn't solve it, press Ctrl+Alt+Del, go to Processes, look for explorer.exe,click on in and " end process", click on "File", New Task", and type explorer, see if you can move your pointer now!

Change the battery. then re-sync the mouse

See if this helps at all: turn off the Enhance pointer precision feature: 1. Click Start, click Run, type control mouse, and then click OK. 2. Click the Pointer Options tab, click to clear the Enhance pointer precision check box, and then click OK.
