The touchpad on my laptop is currently out of order, so I can only use the keyboard to get around. It's been stopping working occasionally for the last few days, and the last couple of times I've tried to use the computer it hasn't worked at all. This is severely curtailing my enjoyment of the internets :/

I suppose I should search for the spare mouse that should be lying around somewhere, and see if that will work. I'd like to know why this thing's suddenly broken, though. (I think this has happened once before, and it came right after a while? Though that time might have been when I spilt some water on it...)

ETA: In addition, the display has gone into the kind of mode it changes to when I watch videos in Media Player Classic, though I haven't watched anything in it for ages. Also, Solitaire has lost its record of my numbers of wins and losses...

That's all the weird things I've noticed so far, but I guess there could be others.

Diagnoses, anyone?

That bites big time :( Have you tried updating the touchpad driver? I accidentally turned mine off once, still not sure how

LOL water damage, time for a new one? :) that is my geeky tech official input.
