It doesn't matter anymore I figured it out. There is 2 buttons by the on/off button, well my sister pressed one of them so the touchpad didn't' work, all i had to do is press it again, problem solved. Although I did try Fn + F7 and it didn't work. Thanks hope this helps :)

So the honeymoon is over, and your touchpad is no longer responding to your touch. Do you go to counseling? Before you call the professionals, you may want to try restoring responsiveness yourself.
Function keysTry the easiest fixes first. Try pressing each of your function keys, F1-F12, trying the touchpad in between each function (F7 is the default for many). Depending on what kind of keyboard you have, you may need to hold down the function key (fn) in the bottom left of the keyboard as you try the function keys across the top, i.e., hold down fn and F7 at the same time, then try the pad.
External mouseIf you have a USB mouse sitting around, try to plug that in, and restart the computer. If the mouse works, then go to your settings, and see if you can turn on your touchpad. If the touchpad still does not work, at least you have a temporary fix. If you are savvy enough, you may also manually disable/enable the touchpad in BIOS (that script that appears as you boot up). You may tinker with that as you go back and forth between touchpad and external mouse as you try to get something to work.
Have you done anything different lately, such as installed a new hard drive? Sometimes things like this can scramble the settings. Grounding issuesNot that simple�go ahead and plug in the A/C adapter to the wall. Restart the computer and move your finger in circles on the pad as your system reboots. Unplug the A/C adapter, so you are using the battery. Does it work? Try plugging it in again. Does the touchpad fail again? This happens sometimes. Try placing at least three fingers of your other hand anywhere on the computer. Does it work again? If so, it is because the computer is not properly grounded, probably on the inside.
If none of these things work, then you are in for a trip to the computer repair shop or a visit from the geek squad. However, before you spend your bucks, make sure you give the simple free fixes a shot.

A touchpad is an input device. It operates on the same principle as your mouse does, taking your movements or gestures and translating them into a form the computer can understand in order to get work done.

To switch from a cordless laptop mouse to the laptop's built-in touchpad, simply disconnect the cordless mouse by turning it off or unplugging its USB receiver. If the touchpad doesn't activate automatically, you may need to press the designated function key (often labeled with a touchpad icon) or adjust the settings in your laptop's control panel under "Mouse" or "Touchpad." Additionally, ensure that the touchpad is enabled in the device settings.

Normally, on a laptop or notebook, there is an on/off button for the Touchpad.
Sometimes, this is just above the Touchpad itself and may have a light indicator alongside the button also. Press the button, the light goes out, and the pad is disabled.
Or, the button will be somewhere on the top row of keys/functions of the keyboard. You may have to press a special 'fn' key + this Touchpad key together, in order to turn it off.

Try F-TIPP. It's a new product designed for people who are irritated by laptop touchpads. http://www.ftipp.com The touchpad mouse interface is often challenged by skin oil, dirt, and food particles. We rarely will wash our hands just to use our computer. If you have the owners manual, check to see if there is a section on cleaning the touchpad. You must be careful about cleaning this device, as it must remain sensitive to the presence of your finger in order to work. A mild soap solution in a damp sponge will probably clean the touchpad without getting water into the case of the laptop. Avoid rubbing alcohol, lighter fluid, or strong detergents, such as Dawn. Do not pour liquid onto the touchpad, and do not rub the touchpad with an abrasive pad.

I recently tried to install the Elementary Luna OS using Unetbootin. Instead of installing to a USB or CD to boot from, I installed the OS to the hard drive. It seemed to install fine, the BIOS showed the option to boot from either Windows 7 or the UNetbootin. Selecting the latter, would boot up the Elementary Luna OS, but immediately, the touchpad on the PC mentioned in the subject line, was disabled. Prior to doing any of this, the F keys and a few of the keys in the top left corner of the keyboard, were disabled too. So, any accidental presses of FN and the enable/disable the touchpad key, were essentially impossible. Even going back into Windows 7, and enabling/disabling the touchpad, updating/installing the/new drivers, and installing Windows updates still left the touchpad disabled. I deleted/uninstalled everything to do with the Linux OS and only have Windows installed. It should be noted that booting in Safe Mode, the touchpad works fine and the cursor moves as normal.
Would the installation of the Linux OS have disabled the touchpad? Is there any way of reverting the touchpad back to usable state?
