Windows 7: Mouse freezes up at start up

When I wake my computer up from sleep, the "mouse" or touch pad is frozen. If I restart my computer, it works ok. How do I fix this?

If the problem persists, then it's most likely a software problem, like a bad driver trying to load. To check if it's a driver, wake the computer, then hit F8, and choose Safe Mode. If all goes well in Safe Mode, then it's a driver of some sort. If that is the case replace driver, or update.

.

Is there a button on your laptop to enable or disable the mousepad?

yup Frostmourne there is one. Thank you Richc46 Ill try to update/reinstall the driver right now.

I've had this problem and surprisingly alt-tabbing to an opened window unfroze the mouse, I dont know if it helps at all but it's worth a try.

Ive fixed it by deleting the driver that was installed but I couldnt install the new one and surprisingly it works now without any drivers installed! I know its wierd but it works thanks everybody : )))
