So we have recently upgraded my laptop (even though it is still a slow piece of crap) and during that process we ran into some technical difficulties. For some reason the new upgrade changed my mouse pad settings. It had turned it off.(Of course at the time we didn’t know it was that simple). So we tried to plug in an external mouse and that worked so for a while I just used that. Then for a cure we switched me from Gnome to Xfce. I was on that for a while. One day my computer was being really slow so i rebooted it. When i logged back in i had no task bar. So i was without internet for a while and then i got idea. If I could get an external mouse then i could log back into Gnome and change my settings from there and log out then log back into Xfce then my internet would work again. I couldn’t find a mouse so I stole the one from off of my dad’s computer. Curiosity got the best of me and i went into my mouse settings to see if there was anything i could do in there to help my mouse problem. So I disabled the mouse pad then turned it on again and it worked. I was so relieved. I don’t much like Xfce as much as I like Gnome. Of course I had to hide while my dad tried to figure out what was wrong with his mouse. At least now my computer is back to normal again.
