touchpads do that quite often Maimie - and the first rule of tech support (unless something ele is totally obvious) is to reboot the machine. I always use a normal mouse for my laptop - touchpads are a pain in the *** !

... and if its a USB mouse (with a flat silver coloured connector) as opposed to a PS2 mouse (with a round, normally green coloured connector), 9 times out of 10 it will work without rebooting the machine when your touchpad stops working.

The description "Wireless Router" always makes me laugh.  I've set up dozens of the things, yet I'm still to find one that has no wires  :015:

Saw this and thought of you..............

still using the old phone?????

:rotflmao: :rotflmao:

I can confirm that the new mobile is still in it's box for safe keeping. :015: Maimie has a huge phobia about losing some of her contact details in the change over.  The only way to be 100% sure is to write them all down and check them again and again before manually entering them to the new phone and checking them again. She of little faith.  :015:

My suggestion would be to sell the new phone in it's box and start thinking about another upgrade as it will be due shortly. No point in having to go through this again.

you're all so horrid to me!!!  :019: :019:

my old flatmate used to use my laptops touchpad as a bloody ashtray

get yourself a wireless mouse and keyboard maimie.  then get yourself a decent monitor.. making having the actual laptop a big fat waste of time but a **** of alot easier to use
