Accidently disabled touch pad and cursor, how can i enable it, please
I recently tried to install the Elementary Luna OS using Unetbootin. Instead of installing to a USB or CD to boot from, I installed the OS to the hard drive. It seemed to install fine, the BIOS showed the option to boot from either Windows 7 or the UNetbootin. Selecting the latter, would boot up the Elementary Luna OS, but immediately, the touchpad on the PC mentioned in the subject line, was disabled. Prior to doing any of this, the F keys and a few of the keys in the top left corner of the keyboard, were disabled too. So, any accidental presses of FN and the enable/disable the touchpad key, were essentially impossible. Even going back into Windows 7, and enabling/disabling the touchpad, updating/installing the/new drivers, and installing Windows updates still left the touchpad disabled. I deleted/uninstalled everything to do with the Linux OS and only have Windows installed. It should be noted that booting in Safe Mode, the touchpad works fine and the cursor moves as normal. Would the installation of the Linux OS have disabled the touchpad? Is there any way of reverting the touchpad back to usable state?
A laptop's touchpad is similar to a mouse as used on a desktop computer. Basically, it is an inbuilt pointing device: a finger moves the cursor on the screen, a tap of the finger acts like the left mouse button.
To turn off the touchpad, you can goto the Control Panel and double click the Mouse properties icon. Click the Device Select tab and check "Disable Device". The cursor will no longer move via the touchpad.
nothing
OMG... The mousewheel IS the shortcut... Anyway, back in the 'old' days you would use [PgUp] and [PgDn]. Alternatively you can use the up- or downarrow for scrolling, or in case of a 'Multi Gesture' touchpad on your laptop, you can scroll by sliding TWO fingers on the touchpad. Last option would be to 'double tap' your touchpad wit your cursor on the scrollbar, and sliding the scrollbar on your second tap... Good luck....
The time can be selected at the bottom right of the screen. You can also press Alt + Shift + s on your keyboard. Accessibility. Under “Mouse and touchpad,” turn on Automatically click when the mouse cursor stops.
Try function key and F4 Key depressed together.AnswerNo, that wouldn't be it. I don't know why hibernation would cause a touchpad to become unresponsive but ''function + F4'' is a keyboard shortcut to put your computer ''into'' hibernation.I know exactly what you were referring to Chris, my friend just had the same problem. She clicked something, and suddenly, the touch-click was gone. It has nothing to do with the keypad dying, it
If you have a laptop, one of 2 things are happening. Either your stick mouse is being tapped or you are tapping the touchpad causing the cursor to go where the mouse is pointing. Go into the Control Panel > Mouse settings to disable either the stick or the touchpad.
Edit I have a Toshiba Satellite with windows 8.1.As I turned it on everything was OK but after a minute or so my touchpad stopped working,it doesn't move it will scroll and click but without the cursor moving.I figured that it actually works but I have to double tap the touchpad and then move but after I stop it won't work again and I have to double tap it every time to move it and it makes things very hard.I tried restarting it and turning it off and then on again and just after it goes on the touchpad works fine but again after a moment it stops.What should I do? Update: I also tried disabling and then enabling it but it doesn't work.
the function of cursor control keys it helps to move the cursor.
The cursor is called a cursor in MS Excel.
