Notebooks Turning Touchpad back on

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if anyone could help me.
While at Uni my main PC was a laptop but as I used an external mouse with it, I disabled the touchpad. Now I can't for the life of me find how to re enable it so I can use my external mouse with my desktop, but still use the laptop so I can finish handing over files. Can anyone help?

If it makes a difference I have an Evehsam Voyager C720, and the touch pad is an Elantech one.

Thanks in advance,

 

isn't it under the control panel > mouse

 

I don't think so as I have looked at all the options there. I should also say I am running XP.

 

does it have an icon next to the clock (bottom right hand corner) if so can you right click and enable device??? or you can try to go into the device manager finding the device and do the same right click > properties > enable device!

try those????

 

Are you sure none of the keys have a 'FN+' "pad" ?
Also look around the outside edge of the pad, no button elegantly hidden there?
