Cursor Freezes

Hi Guys,

Really need some help with this before I lose my mind and my laptop goes flying out the window. I have a Toshiba Satellite with windows 8 and my touch pad has became very temperamental. I can use it when I turn on and insert pin and even to click on Google but then cursor Freezes and no more mouse! I've read through all the threads and tried everything from pressing fn + f5 to ctrl + f5 to doing all the steps of taking out power cord and battery and rebooting and still one I get on to desktop or click on anything it freezes. I had external mouse which worked up until it broke yesterday and now it's not working either but I don't think it's laptop related think that's just faulty wire. I've spent last 2 days trying out the things I've read but still no joy. Laptop was only bought in Oct so not very old. I can't get into mouse settings or control panel with just buttons and arrows.
Please help and save my sanity. Any help would be appreciated
