    Hi
    Have you tried a full reinstall? Mine seems to be dead after the updates of the last days. If i reinstall, all seems to be well again. But now it doesnt work (with updates) unless i put it a wireless mouse. Then after some three minutes, it lives again. It's a funny world... :|

    Isn't there a key that turns the trackpad on and off? Perhaps you accidentally turned it off...
