Mouse pad and mouse pointer issues

ssmikey33

I have spoken with ACER technical support about my mouse pad which goes into a mad malfunctioning stage where I can't highlight words on a page as it won't be pulled to the left or right of the text leading to me being zoomed in and out of the page as if by magic or a ghost! It's so bizarre when that happens. As a result of the technical issue that doesn't resolve by a system restart or shut down I also end up only being able to pull the scrollbar up and down the page then have to forcefully drag the mouse across the page to my windows icon in order to go into a system shut down option.

It's driving my mad and I am pretty certain my laptop is not within it's warranty period now . I am no expert at computers so wouldn't know what hardware stuff to be looking at within windows..

Hope someone can help me resolve this issue quickly as it's malfunctioned and then started working again just now!

Hi @ ssmikey33 

1. Restart your system. Turning your computer off and back on can fix a lot of problems—including a laptop mouse or touchpad that's not working. ...
2. Check for dirt. Eat lunch at your desk? ...
3. Disconnect Bluetooth devices. ...
4. Enable the touchpad. ...
5. Update your laptop drivers.
