Hi, i just bought this toshiba A300-13x laptop yesterday and after a windows update my touchpad stopped working, its stuck frozen in the middle of the screen. The synaptic touchpad icon near the clock on the bottom right has disappeared too. This is what ive tried so far:

Fn F9 to enable/disable touchpad.
Full restart of the computer
installed new drivers from the toshiba site.
restored PC to prior the windows update.

I'm new to Vista and I dont know what else to do. Also, i noticed there is no "mouse and other pointing devices" section in my device manager, is that new to vista?

Any help is greatly appreciated
