I have a Toshiba Laptop, it was working perfectly till few hours ago, when teh mouse stopped working right, I now can move the pointer anywhere I want using teh touchpad, but, I can no longer double click teh touchpad to enter, I looked for possible buttons that might hold teh answer, I went to the mouse setting in control pannel, no success.
Thanks for reading
Here is what I did to get the touchpad to start working again. My laptop is Gateway and a couple years old, running Windows Vista.
1. Start>Control Panel
2. Double-click on Mouse icon (or button, depending on how you're systems set up).
3. When a the Mouse Properties window pops up, choose the Device Settings tab.
4. Click on the Settings... button.
5. A new window pops up and on the right side there is a list of options - choose Tapping.
6. Once clicked, there is a check box that allows you to Enable Tapping.
7. Click OK to close out your windows and the tapping option should be enabled on your touchpad.
Hopefully this helps.
Try unplugging the charger - does it work now??
Can you do a system restore to an earlier date that sometimes helps
RIGHT CLICK MY COMPUTER THEN PROPERTIES
you will find your system restore in there
restore it to an earlier date when you know it worked correctly then restart pc and see if that helped
My touchpad could'nt open in e.g. folders etc. everything is enabled, i tried reinstall drivers and this motherf still annoys me. it has lost the **** functions like two fingers scroll or zoom in and zoom out or rorate and so on who was in damned drivers. everything was working good, but after 20 mins for about, when i left my laptop sleeping this stupid thing started mess with me.... i even tried to backup my system...
when its choosed righthand option, the left button and sensitive area react for clicking or tapping, but the right button does. it's strange, but pressure graph shows everything normally when i touch my pad, so i guess the problem is in the system, probabbly windows. so ok... when i switch to lefthand, then i can open my foldiers by tapping or right button clicking. anyways when i restart my computer or wake him up from sleep mode the right button becomes like it was righthanded before and when i touch my pad it makes a click to enter the functions field too (like a right button with righthanded funct.)
im using windows 7 home premium 64-bit, synaptics drivers (i was using the newest of them, when defect became, i think made everything with programs so i even reinstalled driver to the older version) im going to freakout! arrgrhhh

I have the same problem. The mouse just froze in the middle of the screen and won't move. I bought an external mouse an it works fine. The computer is only six months old. AGGRAVATING!
