Mouse Frozen in Center Screen

My cat sat on my laptop and put my computer into standby mode. I undid it and then I had to reboot my computer because the computer was running really slow.

At reboot the mouse was frozen in the middle of the screen and it was after a second reboot. I am wondering if there is a keystroke that was pressed and maybe it can be undone?

It's a synaptic mousepad built into a Toshiba Windows Vista.

The" fn" and another key might have been pressed. If theres any keys which have something that looks like a touchpad or a finger or a finger on a touchpad on them, and if restarting doesn't work, try pressing fn and that button.

Frozen cursor

do you have a wired or wireless mouse?
Have you tried attaching a different mouse to your computer?
What is the brand name of your mouse?

Try booting your computer in Safe Mode. To do this, after turning on the computer, press F8 button several times. You will see a screen that will ask you to boot normally, boot in Safe Mode or boot in Safe Mode with Network Connections. Select Safe Mode.

See if your mouse works then.

Check back with me for further help, if needed. There are additional things you could try.

Frozen Laptop

Can you use the keyboard? If you can then the mouse software is damaged. If you cannot use the keyboard then boot to safe mode. If safe mode is frozen then the problem is hardware.

Acer laptop

reboot and go to safe mode with networking

download malware bytes from www.malwarebytes.org

install it and update it and run it and then remove the infections after that reboot to normal mode.

that should fix it if it is a virus problem (thats what i am thinking).

if not then maybe its the mouse that needs to be replaced

cheers
