i just wonder whether there are any other buttons along the edge of the laptop, i had one once (toshiba)that had a volume wheel on the left hand front edge of the laptop which were out of the way when it was on a desk but I imagine i could have knocked if i were on my sofa.
dont know if that will help, but hope you get better soon.
Sorry, can't help either - I deactivated the touchpad because we didn't use it and DH kept catching it when he used the laptop. Is that what you mean by inbuilt mouse?
Since I've had this back problem I've been forced to spend a lot of time lying on the sofa. As as result I have been using my laptop with the inbuilt mouse rather than the separate optical mouse I use at my desk. I keep doing something which turns the sound up to full and puts a loudspeaker and bar at the bottom of my screen. That is OK but it freezes my mouse and the only way I can find to get rid of it is to switch off.
If anyone can tell me what I am doing to cause this I will be most grateful and if they can also tell me how to get out of it without switching off that would be really helpful. I am usually pretty good with technology but this one seems to have caught me out.
