thank you anonymous, I could move the cursor but the tapping would not work, I had to go into the settings via the Control panel-Mouse- Device Settings and click the enable on the tapping. Wouldn’t have thought of it without your help

January 6, 2012Hello, usually with laptops you have to use a function key to enable touchpad. Depending on laptop’s brand it can be different. For Asus it should be Fn+F9 at same time.
“BINGO!”
…you GOT IT!
thanks…
