Laptop touch pad

[Kiera]

Hi

My usb ports are not work so am using my touch pad.

Unfortunately my touch pad is not working. Does anyone know the keys to make the touch pad work.

Will be very grateful as cannot use the computer.

Thanks

the settings will be in control panel .... touchpad
or possibly a seperate utility from the start menu

but which laptop, which operating system ....
give us a clue

Never seen one before.

As I said - there will (should) either be a touchpad option in control panel - or there may be a utility in the start meny that switches the touchpad on/off

I've even seen it be a bios option ... but that's rare
failing that .....

if you have a USB mouse ... did it come with a ps2 adapter?
failing that can tou get hold of one?

thanks for replying.

both ports are broken was relying only on the touchpad.

Typed original questions on the main computer.

Have taken the battery out of the laptop for a while. Inserted the battery and yes the touchpad is working.

Imagine, a simple thing like taking the battery out works.

thanks for your help
