710418 2008-10-07 20:54:00 Toshiba laptop with Linux Mint and Wind XP.
Connected a wireless mouse and it did not work in either OS so I turned off
touchpad in XP and now can not start Mint and pointer will not work in XP,it
just boots with a pointer center screen and thats it.

710419 2008-10-07 21:36:00 I now have Mint back but with a frozen pointer.How can I turn the touchpad back on from here? kjaada (253)
710420 2008-10-07 22:20:00 Have you tried FN+F9?

On the Toshiba laptop I have here at the moment that is the key combination to turn the touchpad on & off.
Your F9 key may be a different one but it should have a little icon on it that looks like a touchpad.

710422 2008-10-07 22:39:00 GOT IT
I went back in to XP and FN F9 fixed it.
Thanks
