I discovered this trick by accident when trying to wipe dust off my touchpad.;). None of these options fix my problem. I know that the f5 key disables and enables it but I have not accidentally hit the key. I have a new laptop have only had it 12 days and only used it 4 times its a brand new laptop not reconditioned, or have ever been used in any way and all of a sudden the cursor will not respond to my touch on the mouse pad. I have had several problems with laptops in the past where its been brand new and something will start going wrong with it the moment I touch them. If any one else has any other possibility as to why my mouse is malfunctioning please let me know.
Hi wat3755, Please try these generic troubleshooting steps and see if this fixes the issue: 1. Some computers have a touchpad disable and enable hot key, refer to User's Manual of your laptop to see if your computer has this hot key and how to use it. (When your computer does not have the hot key or the hot key did not correct the issue proceed to the next step.) 2. Turn off the computer (when the touchpad does not respond hold the power button down for up to 15 seconds to turn off the computer). Unplug everything except the power cord (AC Adapter). Power on the computer and retest the touchpad.
If the touchpad still does not work correctly proceed to the next step. Make sure the latest driver for the touchpad is installed (you may need to use a external USB or Bluetooth mouse to install the drivers). In addition to these troubleshooting steps, please refer to the Microsoft Knowledge Base article mentioned below: Do reply with results. I think its a bit silly about the Shift + F5 needing to be done. I don't think anyone is stupid for not knowing simple means to Reset the Mouse to Mouse Pad, though - because there is no logic to thinking that these two keys would correct it - you'd have to know. This way of correcting with the Ctl + F5 suggests to me that the mouse pad can easily be disabled accidentally in the same way - by unknowingly pressing those buttons.
I've resolved this issue previously by plugging in an external mouse then going to the Control Panel then to Mouse Settings then Re-enabling the Mouse Pad and Mouse Pad Software and checking all of the other settings then Applying Changes and pressing OK. But it was always irritating having to go into the drawer to find an external mouse, etcetera, then using it to make this corrections. Epson Lq Series 1 136 Driver Download more.

It is possible BTW if you don't have an external mouse at hand to do it manually using the Tab and Enter Keys to get to Control Panel and then Mouse Settings and then Re-enable the Mouse Pad and Mouse Pad Software - but it is not easy to do using Tab and Enter Keys only as its very cumbersome and easy to press wrong buttons and have to start finding Control Panel all over again, etcetera. That would correct it for me, but clearly better with an external mouse. Now though with this CTL + F5 information it will be much quicker for me. But its not like I'd have been able to work out / guess CTL + F5 as a logical corrective measure as its not logical at all. Grrrrr - anyway I'm going to have to write down Ctl + F5 for future reference.
