Hi all, my cat sat on my laptop and now my left click mouse button does not work at all, and I cannot tap the mousepad to double click. An external mouse works but I really don't want to have to get one because I have a painful right shoulder and using an exernal mouse it exacerbates it (I am right handed).

So far I have tried:
-updating the driver
-checking accessability options
-looking at the properties of the synaptics pointing device

None of this has wroked... please help as I need my lap top to do my job and run my website : (

Thanks in advance for any advice. I am using a Compaq Presario, using Windows Vista Home Basic.

I'm assuming that you are currently using a laptop. In that case, have you tried removing Touchpad from Device Manager? Windows should re-install in when it reboots. If you are unsure on how to get to Device Manager, enter devmgmt.msc into Start -> run. This the only way I know how to fix it, so I hope this works.
