I got my kids a new Gateway laptop with windows 8 for Christmas. I was writing an email in I.E. and left it open for an hour and came back. When I came back, my mouse pointer through the touchpad was gone and I haven't been able to get it back. I've shut it off for days and it's not coming back. I hooked up a wireless mouse and that works but I can't get the touchpad mouse pointer to reappear. It's competely awol in the tile screen and in the desktop screen. HELP! This thing is only a month old!
See if the mouse pad has been accidentally turned off. This can be done
via the "Function" button on your Gateway laptop. To enable your mouse
clicker again on your Gateway, head on over to the "Control Menu" in
Windows and double-click on the "Control Panel" icon.
Click on the "Mouse" option under the "Printers and Other Hardware
"
tab. In the next menu that pops up, click on the tab listed as "Device
Settings." From this menu, you should be able to locate a listing for
the mouse pad on your Gateway laptop. Click on this listing. From here,
you should be able to enable the mouse again. Click "OK."
to install it. Restart your Gateway laptop to have the changes take place. Your mouse should now work.

Thank you mewms_14904. The problem was the F key. In my case it was F7 that enables and disables the glide pad of my notebook.By pressing fn key and then F7 solved my case.

Hi i have researched this as i didnt know personally people have told me it s different for certain models and the 3 main options i have seen is this
Option 1: Press FN+F5
Option 2: Press FN+F7
Option 3: *Requires a USB mouse for temporary use* Follow Link http://support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/SHARED/FAQs/1008796faq29.shtml

Neither of you have given the Printer Make and Model number. We can not help without this. This seems to be going around in circles on the board and asked different ways by different people. I have seen this at least 3 times now.

I had the same problem, but I fixed it.
Click start, type "msconfig," go to the "startup" tab, make sure that "synaptics pointing device driver" is checked. After you check the box, restart.
