The cursor on my Acer Aspire M touch screen has disappeared and I cant get it to come back, even after restarting the computer, and checking all Windows mouse settings. The cursor was working as of last night, but this morning, nothing.

Could be the Fn+F7 issue, but probably the VGA driver and synaptics sleep issue. If it wont come back by pressing Fn+F7 then goto the Synaptics site and grab the latest driver - http://www.synaptics.com/en/drivers.php. Unzip and install over the top of the current drier. Once you have installed this, reboot and like magic, you wont have a disappearing cursor anymore. Ive now done this on 4 different Aspire laptops - each a different model with the same issue in Windows 8.

First confirm that your touch pad is working or not. yor touch pad may be disabled or it may be dead. you can enable your touch pad in it's setting. you can connect an external mouse to your laptop to check that. or you can enable mouse keys in control panel.

SOURCE: Acer Aspire One Netbook Touch pad mouse not working

There is a small ribbon cable that connects the touchpad to the motherboard. If there was any dramatic jostling of the system or it was disassembled for any reason it may have come undone. I have heard of this happening in the past.

If your lucky, someone just turned it off. The toggle for the mouse pad is Fn+F7 simultaneously.

Good Luck,

Fn F7 probably got pressed (turns on and off the trackpad. probably the dumbest thing to have a hotkey for)

THE CURSOR IS NOT DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN OPERATING SYSTEM: WINDOWS 8.1 PRO PRODUCT :ACER ASPIRE ES1-512

the proposed solution is to edit one registry item. Here is how you do it:
1) From the desktop right-click on the start icon and then click 'Run'

2) In the Run box type in 'regedit' without the quote marks and click OK

3) this will open Windows Registry Editor, now navigate to this path by clicking on the folders in the left hand panel: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

4) Once you have opened the system folder you should look down the list that appears in the main box to the right of the panel until you find an entry called EnableCursorSupression double click this entry

5) This will bring up a box that has a value data of 1. Change this to 0 and click OK

6)Close the registry Editor and restart your computer
Let us know if this solution Works, Thanks,

Acer aspire 5520 mouse pointer problem it freezes or moves around the screen by itself

Glad to HELP YOU!

First of all try to clean your touch pad with a SOFT CLOTH gently soaked in a GLASS CLEANER fluid. Make that as good as you can and you will remove all the dirst that may occur during the function of your computer, generating "fake movements" of the cursor.
Second: go to
START > CONTROL PANEL > MOUSE icon > DEVICE SETTINGS
and disable touch pad or check box to hide cursor while you are typing.

GOOD LUCK!

When I'm in the process of typing emails, sometimes the message just disappears; sometimes the cursor jumps to another area of the message and sometimes the cursor disappears! Any solution to this? I got...

Most of the time you can recover the message by hitting ctrl + z. the curser diapering may be a software glitch or a setting somewhere, and I do not have an explanation for the curser moving by its self except maybe accidently touching the sensor with your wrist, they use the heat from the part of your body that touches them so it is very easy to accidently touch it and not realize.

Sounds like the touch pad is not working anymore. try using a USB mouse and see if that works. also, see if you can reinstall the touch pad software to fix that.

Cursor skips lines while typing

My experience: cursor suddenly moving backward when i was typing, or moving somewhere else on the page. I would be typing and text suddenly would get highlighted. I followed someone's advice to disable the touch pad. Since I do have a mouse & key pad that was all i had to do.
HOW TO DISABLE THE TOUCHPAD FOR ACER 3680 AND OTHERS??? PRESS Fn +F7
Yep, it was that simple. At first I made sure i typed without my fingers or palms touching or near the touchpad. I noticed it seemed to stop or happen less. Soon as I disabled the touch pad all is back to normal. Yet I spent hrs trying to find out how and there were all these posts by people suggesting downloads and other more complicated things etc..
