You probably have some viruses and malware.

Start your PC and press F8 several times until the boot menu comes up. Then select "Safe Mode with Networking". Now get some or ALL of the FREE programs below.

Make sure to select ALL of the "threat categories" when you install or configure Avira...

You should be in pretty good shape if you run and install all of these programs.

Click Start/Control Panel andlook for the Mouse and open it to check the mouse properties. Make sureyou don't have the touchpad disabled.

Some models will allow you to toggle the touchpad on or off by clicking on thebutton that is located at the top of the touch pad in the middle.

Some models will allow you to toggle the touchpad by tapping twice in the upperleft hand corner of the touchpad.

Some models will require a keystroke to toggle the touchpad. Press andHold the ALT or FN function key located at the lower left portion of thekeyboard, then hit the key that toggles the touchpad. The correct key tohit will have the icon of a finger pointing at a square that represents thetouchpad.

Download and reinstall the touch pad drivers.Get online and got towww.google.com In the google search box type: "MSI Support"(without the quotes and put your manufacturer name before Support). Lookfor downloads and drivers. Enter your model number and operating system whenrequested. Download and install the Touchpad drivers.If the touchpad still does not work after the above steps then maybe a virus or infection has hijacked the touchpad. Try booting into Safe Mode then download and install MalwareBytes and run a Quick Scan.
Turn off the computer, then hit the power button to turn itback on and immediately start hitting the F8 key repeatedly until you see SAFEMODE. Take the Safe Mode With Networking option (this will give youinternet connectivity) and let it boot up. Safe Mode will look different toyou, the screen will be darker and the icons bigger, this is normal. Open your internet browser, then download and install MalwareBytes and run a Quick Scan.
Go to www.google.com and in the search box type:"Download cnet Malwarebytes" (without the quotes). Download andinstall malwarebytes from the sites download.cnet/malwarebytes. When thesite opens up click on the Green Download button on the left. Do notclick the Red Download button, that's junk. When it finishes installing the GuiInterface will open up with an offer to Accept a Trial Version orDecline. CLICK DECLINE you want the totally free version. Run aQUICK SCAN. As it scans, if it finds infections the number will be inred. When it finishes scanning, click SHOW RESULTS. A notepad textdocument will open up showing you the results. You can close the textdocument and go back to the Gui Interface where you will click REMOVE SELECTEDRESULTS. The objects will already be selected for you. When itfinishes removing the objects click ok and it will sometimes reboot yourmachine.

It seems like the driver for your installed keyboard has been corrupted or lost. You might want to try a rescue/boot disk to get things going again.

Hi nick dunnmai,

Here are the things that you can try to diagnose the issue.

- Boot to "Safe Mode with Command Prompt" by pressing F8 (or F10..depending on the brand of the unit), if you can type from there, you are 100% sure that you're having software issue. In this case, you can perform virus scan, registry fix or reinstall the whole operating system.

- Replace the keyboard if it is not working in "Safe Mode". You can purchase a keyboard replacement or send back the unit to MSI repair center if still under warranty.

Hope this helps. Any comment is highly appreciated.

i guess it is a key sequence,all pc 's are different mine goes into bios pages when F2 is pressed whilst booting and F9 when i want to reinstall the OS Dont know why you want "safe" mode or do you mean "standby" whereby you can still download with the lid closed --any how good luck!

Hello my friend,this is looks like the windows is corrupted and your windows cannot boot ,maybe this is caused by a virus,you can try reinstalling the windows but i don't recommend it if its a virus problem.I recommend you formatting your computer or restore your laptop to factory settings.The last one it depends on laptop some have special restore partitions on the hard drive, usually you press alt+F10,F10,F11 or F12 after powering on the laptop, and it goes into a restore program that wipes your drive and returns the laptop back to the way it was when you first purchased it.
Note all your programs and data will be deleted if you restore the computer.

Hello..

When you encounter this kind of problem you need to check directly to the HDD. This is an HDD problem which the cable are not good. Try to change the SATA or IDE cable. Or you may reset the CMOS jumper you can see the CMOS jumper near the CMOS battery. Good luck!

try getting into safe mode by holding down F8 run a virus checjk when logged on
