touchpad on laptop won't work...suggestions?

steelyeyed57 · 06-29-2006, 08:19 PM

I carry my laptop to and from work. At work I have a wireless keyboard and mouse i hook up, but I leave them at work. Every once in a while, I come home and startup my laptop and it still thinks the wireless keyboard and mouse are plugged in and my mouse pointer is parked right in the center of the screen and I can't move it, or click, etc. (On a weird note, I didn't use my wireless keyboard at all today, and I came home and it still happened). I can get around a little using the arrows and cursor, but it sure is annoying.
I've fixed it before, but I can't remember how -- Anyone know how to fix it, and how to prevent it from happening again?
