Toshiba Satellite mouse pad stopped working

Did you get yours fixed as mine seems to have this problem? Works for 2 mins then frozen....

Hit CTRL + ALT + DEL .... go to task manager... Go to the synaptic touchpad icon, click or right click.... and press End Task. Your problem should be solved.

Thank you so much! This did the trick for me!!!!!

WOW! Thanks! The Alt-Ctrl-Delete answer worked. I was able to fix my Daughter's laptop. No excuse now for not doing homework not need to get a new laptop THANK YOU! Thank You!

Life saver

Thank you control f5 was a lifesaver :)

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. 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. But then again I should remember because I've just typed it several times.

Richards, you are the best... FN + F5 didn't work but your suggestion did.
Thank heaps!!

shift+f5! Thank you :)

i used do shift+f5 and works all the time but not anymore and its driving me crazy does anyone have another suggestion because none of the above worked with my laptop...
