Computers I tried "Control-Alt-Delete," and YES, it opened up a window for me to enter my password. One problem down, one problem to go. Once I was in Windows I started thinking, and figured that if there was an icon on the toolbar then there had to be another icon somewhere else. I went into the Control Panel to see if I could find anything of use. 1. If you are locked out of your laptop due to a password, clicking "Control" "Alt" and "Delete" (all three keys at once) will open a window that allows you to enter your password. 2. Once you are logged in, press the button on the left side of the bottom row of your keyboard, usually the third key in: it has the wavy-window Windows logo on it. 3. This will open the "Start" menu. From here use the Up arrow button to navigate up to the Control Panel.
4. Use the arrow buttons once again to navigate down to the "Mouse" Icon and press "Enter" again.

Won't ALT F9 at the same time also unable the mouse pad, I have to say, I am sitting here with a hang over trying to figure out how to fix my laptop! However the novel you wrote at the start just made me want to leave this site very quickly! When I got a laptop 'bout 3 yrs. I hadent used a computer for many yrs. The Indians at the Gateway customer service call center began to know who I was by my voice. Thank you so much you made my day.I was getting frustrated from last two days.Thanks again. Garbage. This is too much work for a simple function. Will donate unit or just recycle for parts. Toshiba never again, windows, not impressed w u either. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I spent an hour trying to correct this simple mistake after the touchpad was turned off by mistake, got to love kids. I found answers a plenty but all of them were too complicated for my uncomputer savvy brain to understand. Yours were simple and to the point even though my laptop was slightly different you had enough information for me to get that touchpad going again. So I thank you and now I can get back to doing my homework, and my son will just have to play with something else for a while xD. I tried your step by step instruction.
Computers a poor relation to it's i3 brother. Frequency - the frequency at which a chip like a central processing unit (CPU), one core of a multi-core processor, is running and is used as an indicator of the processor's speed. It is measured in the SI unit hertz. Hyperthreading - (officially called Hyper-Threading Technology or HT Technology, and abbreviated as HTT or HT) is Intel's proprietary simultaneous multithreading (SMT) implementation used to improve parallelization of computations (doing multiple tasks at once) performed on x86 microprocessors. HEVC - said to double the data compression ratio compared to H.264/MPEG-4 AVC at the same level of video quality. It can alternatively be used to provide substantially improved video quality at the same bit rate. The first thing I do when I buy a new laptop - any laptop - is get rid of the bloatware. For those of you that don't already know, bloatware is a phrase used in technology to describe all the unnecessary programs installed on devices prior to sale.
They are usually branded and may prompt you to purchase additional software. Acer have to be the worst company for this of all the laptops I've set up to date. There are so many different applications and addons that are completely unnecessary and will never be used. All these do it take up hard-disk space and in some cases RAM. This all works towards making a laptop boot up slowly and working slowly. All of these applications are completely useless in my opinion. Get rid of them by uninstalling them via the control panel; a laborious job for anyone but it will speed up your machine and stop you getting bugged all the time by annoying add-ons. Most new laptops and PC's come with a form of antivirus installed, but in the case of cheaper systems, the antivirus will usually be a trial version. Because if you upgrade (and you're usually bugged by the software to do it), the Antivirus software company will pay a commission to the manufacturer.
