    Hi all first post so go easy..

    Ive got an aspire one from a friend..its a AOA 160 and is running the stock linpus os. it was running fine up until recently. When you first turn it on you can move the arrow around the screen but cannot click on anything. You can open programs using the keyboard. I tried updating the software etc but it made no difference. Then the other day i tried using a usb mouse. At first i still couldnt click on anything until i pressed the right mouse button. This enabled me to click on things as normal. The touchpad also works perfectly until i restart the machine. Just wondering if anyone else had same problem or how to fix. I could just re-install the linux off the disc and try that but wondering if theres an easier way.

    Thanks

    Dave
