How has my touchpad been disabled

[Giraffe76]

Hi all,

We have 3 user accounts on our windows 7 laptop and ive logged into my account today and found that my touchpad has been disabled somehow. I can use the windows key and the tab key etc but the pointer will not move no matter what i try to do.

How has this happened and how do i fix it?

Kind regards Mark

my laptop has a shortcut that switches it off eg Fn and F7 on mine. You sure you have not pressed it by accident

No there is no such shortcut available on my laptop.

Any other suggestions would be most grateful

There might be a small button to toggle it on/off. Maybe between the touchpad & the space bar.

What make & model is it?

Thank you for everyones input but ive managed to solve the problem by finding a USB mouse and using it to enable the touchpad
