Laptop Mouse?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?)

My Laptop Mouse is not working, and by that I mean my Mousepad on my laptop.
It doesn't work, never appears on the screen, and so I have to use the
arrow/enter buttons to get around, but its really hard to do so without the
arrow appearing. I'm pretty sure that the Laptop receives the message that
I'm moving the mouse, because it makes sounds when I do move the mouse, but
it never appears on the screen, and its been like that for about a week now.
Does anyone know how to fix it or what may be wrong with it?

Update mouse/pad drivers in Device Manager or Control Panel/Mouse or
Keyboard. Some way older laptop keyboards might not have all features
supported in XP.

Well, I don't use the Mouse, so I don't think I can use the Control Panel for
that, because I try to use the laptop pad ... But I can't seem to find where
the Device Manager is on this Windows 2000 Laptop. Where is it?
