Hello,

I was using my Toshiba Satellite and it froze up. I turned it off and then back on and my mouse pad stopped working. My cursur will move and highlight an icon but will not follow the command when clicked. I tried the function key and f9 and nothing.
Thank you for any help provided.

It's the function key. It's usually located on the bottom row on the far left of your keyboard. Not all keyboards have a fn key though. Depending on what you're using, the scroll lock key can take the place of the fn key on some.

FN + F5 helped me when my mouse/curser dissapeared.

And F5 on its own - helps when your mouse stops moving.

I know that alot of Toshiba's have a little oblong button right above the mouse pad and below the space bar that will enable/disable the keyboard touchpad also. Lot's of people, including myself, have overlooked it....
