Go into Control Panel and open your touchpad software..probably Synaptics or Alps, and re-enable tapping functions.

Yeah I guess you could use the keyboard to get there.

Hi Again,

 

Thank you all.

 

I actually hadn't realized I could press the clicking section of the touchpad. It took me some time... how brainless can one get (!*?#*&?!?! grrrrrrr...).

 

So I'm all set. Just had to think about it.

 

Thanks again everyone, this community forum is great. Always people out there to help :smileyhappy:))) Love it !
