    My pointing device software is being very strange and works until Windows Vista has been open for about 10 seconds, then it stops working n I can't use the mouse. Any ideas?

    This was requested by Mats, who (maybe) currently is unable to post for some unknown reason (?).

    Really hard to post at all with no mouse. Logged on as my girlfriend's profile and the touch pad works fine. Logged on as me, it works only for a few seconds before not working any more. The Synaptic pointing device says it's set to 'other pointing device' instead of the touchpad, but setting it back to touchpad and applying doesn't work as it immediately reverts back to 'other pointing device'. Any help would be great guys!

    Thanks to Raine for posting this too ! smile.gif

    Buy/borrow a USB mouse.

    Completely uninstall Synaptic then reinstall. Download the drivers from your Laptop's manufacture's site.
    Or for now use Numpad mouse:
