If it's a laptop then theres usually some sort of software for the trackpad (or whatever there called)

Maybe have a look at the software that came with it?

Try an external usb mouse. This will then allow you to do various checks (anti virus, driver,  software etc to establish what is wrong. Once it is fixed then you can then revert to in built mouse.

Mouse won't work either i can't click on anything to get it to find the device..

It's a right PITA to do it by using the tab all the time !

im on top of computers mate
my mates been having allsorts of problems with his sound and ports and stuff
try a system restore back to say a week ago or just before your mouse stoped working
it could be to do with the system updates mate messing things up as this was the problem with a mates laptop
let me know how you get on

Tried that already, didn't work, i think it picked up a virus or something as it went into security mode & then got stuck with loads of pop up screens from the security page, i managed to get into the thing & deleted cookies & the security program, i think i may have deleted something i shouldn't have & now i can't find any discs either so i can't format the drives either

that doesnt sound good at all looks like you ull have to do a full system program
if you system restore a few weeks back youll get back all that you have deleted mate as you probably know

Sounds like you need to wipe it clear and start again matey.
Steve what discs you need matey? I think i have a copy of Windows 95, 98, XP and I think i have vista on a disc aswell but all OEM versions which may work if you still have your codenot sure with vista though

Well it's fixed, turns out i turned the touch pad off  :oops:

Still i've deleted Norton & downloaded AVG so that should help a little !

I spent the last few days talking to myself into my headset for online gaming.

Didn't realise it was on mute!

I know, i'm such a noob when it comes to computers  :lol:

Only other annoying thing now is i can use the touchpad but can't get it to scroll with the middle button ??
Anyone ??
