    Laptop Not Responding... Help

    Left my laptop on last night, woke up to check my emails at approx. 02:00 hrs, cursor responds very jerkily to touchpad, slow and erratic. This morning, cursor won't respond at all! Tried system restore, no joy. Keypad works fine and no error messages showing.

    Any ideas? A real pain using the navigation keys.

    Have you tried plugging in a mouse?

    Could be the touchpad itself on it's way out.

    What make is the laptop, and does it have a little rubber nipple in the middle of the keyboard? If so, does that move the pointer around okay?

      How slow is slow? Is it the same even with the mouse? How much internet traffic is is generating when doing nothing? Hope you haven't got a nasty infection which is eating up all your resources...

        Just bought an external mouse and keyboard and new antivirus software. All back to normal now, although the touchpad is kaput. It's a Sony VAIO. Was getting worked up, just avoided slinging it through the window. :mischeif:
