I have an Asus 1201N netbook and my mouse stopped working. Windows starts correctly and I can navigate through the Windows 7 Start panel with my keyboard but the mouse does not respond. What am I to do? Regards Kannas Wiid

You need to go into the bios settings and boot windows dvd from dvd ROM then you need to do partition. This is how your hard drive will reset.

A hard reset, or recovery, is done by pressing F9 at startup (asus logo).

Examine your "Function"/"F" keys and look for a touchpad icon. If you find one, hold the "Fn" key and press the touchpad icon button to unlock the touchpad. Move on to Step 2 if your laptop doesn't support this feature. Plug a USB mouse into an open port on your laptop. Click the Windows "Start" button. Click "Control Panel" in Windows XP and double-click "Device Manager." Type "Device" in the search box in Vista and Windows 7 and click "Device Manager" from the results. Click "+" next to "Mice and other pointing devices." Right-click the touchpad and select "Enable." Your touchpad is now unlocked. Hope this helps.

Do you use touchpad? If so, have you tried reinstall touchpad driver? to get driver for Windows XP, go to here. For windows 7 the touchpad driver isn't listed.

Start the laptop up in safe mode, remove the mouse driver and re boot the laptop. Windows will see there is no driver and load a fresh one. Assuming the driver that you have is the correct one, Asus use their own, it will work.

Too late - when you formatted the entire drive you erased all partitions including the restore software that was initially included with your machine. If you cannot connect to the internet now it is because you have driver issues. Using device manager find the peripherals that have exclamation marks or questions next to them and use another computer go into the web and look for win 7 drivers for them.
Good luck

It is a common annoyances with netbooks and laptops which lack the disable touchpad button. Most blogs out there are covering a single method to disable the touchpad, i.e, go to Control Panel > Mouse Properties and then disable the touchpad from there.

The above method is not suitable for those who need to disable the touchpad frequently for short periods of time. Who in his/her right mind would navigate back and forth just to enable/disable touchpad? This could be quite a hectic process.
TouchFreeze is a brilliant little app that solves this problem. It disables the touchpad temporarily the moment a keystroke is pressed. In layman's term, it disables the touchpad automatically when you are typing and enables it back when the typing is stopped.
It will sit silently in the system tray without disturbing any of your work. Just start typing and don't worry about the touchpad any more.
I prefer using this app even though my notebook has a disable touchpad button. Please note that this app might not work with certain laptops, but should work with most netbooks and laptops that lack the disable touchpad button.

Yes you can use it with half charged battery.
Sounds like you conditioned the battery when new which is a good thing. It will keep your battery in good shape now that it has been conditioned correctly as per your user manual.
Just remember that leaving your battery charging for extended periods of time will reduce its lifespan. When it says the battery is charged take it off the charger.
