How do i enable the toupad on my computer?

Hello,

Try booting to safe mode and check if your mouse works inside safe mode.

Restart the computer and tap F8 until you see the options to boot to safe mode. Use the arrow keys to highlight either safe mode or safe mode with networking. Hit enter.

Once you are inside safe mode, check if your mouse works. If it works, then you just need to update the mouse driver. You can use RadarSync to search and install the update into your computer. You better use Safe Mode with Networking because RadarSync needs the internet or even the manual updating process needs an internet connection.

I hope this helps!

check it first , by , connect a mouse , go control panel disable it , and use mouse ,turn the notebook , turn on & enable it , may be works , other wise hardware problem.

Check with the USB Mouse.

your touch pad had to be replaced (physically mean)

If you have a external mouse, or you can borrow, go into device manager to see if the pad is enabled, if okay! try a system restore bringing the computer back in time before this happened, if still no luck the sensor pad maybe defective, the last option a complete recovery of the operational system to factory setting, this will prove if the sensor pad is defective, or wire ribbon might have come loose from the motherboard.

Did it work for you before? what has happened since then?some laptops have a way to disable the touch pad so you won't accidentally move the cursor while typing. It may be a switch on the computer itself, or a LED in the corner of the touch pad, or it may be one of the Function keys (does any of them have a symbol of a mouse with a circle and one diagonal line indicating "no mouse") If so, push the fn key plus which ever function key has that symbol beside it.Some laptops automatically disable the touch pad if a USB mouse is plugged in.If none of these is the problem, you may not have a touch pad driver installed. Get a USB mouse to plus in until you get the driver installed. Go to the web page for the manufacturer for the laptop. Search for your model in the support section, and look for drivers. Download the appropriate driver for your touch pad and your version of Windows, and install it.Buying a USB mouse or a wireless mouse may be a valid solution no matter what the problem is if you like a real mouse.

I just so happen to have the same computer, look at the top where the on and off switch is at, on the left side is the on and off button for the touch pad. You should see a orange light on when the touch pad is disabled. It's the button with a drawing of a hand on a square. If the orange light is off then the touch pad is enabled, now you have a different problem.
Now go to Device Manger (via start,control panel, Systems & Security -- should see Device Manager in blue), go to Mice & other pointing device, right click on the Alps info, then click on update device driver. If Windows doesn't automatically update, then you have to go to Acer's webpage, then support, then drivers and downloads, fill in the info on your computer to be directed to the proper driver, then download the driver file for Alps mouse/touchpad. This should help (I hope), good luck.

Try restarting the computer in safe mode. In most cases this will override your personal settings and give you the ability to access your settings and change them.

There should be a button above the pad or work your way using the keybord to mouse properties and go to the page that has the name of your track pad and select enable.

below the touch pad is an on/off button/switch.... try that...

then, if that doesn't work, restart the computer, try again....
or... if all else fails...
Plug in a usb mouse, navigate to

Start >
>Control Panel
>Hardware & Sound Devices
>Mouse/pointer devices... check to see that the touchpad is enabled.
