TOUCH-PAD NOT WORKING

I tweaked the registry for optimal performance, then my laptop touch-pad
stopped working, I restored the system and still doesn't work, I tried
uninstalling and reinstalling driver, to no effect. I found on my system the
following error report:

-- Description

ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!!!

So much for using a reg cleaner to optimize your system. Look on the bright
side. You managed to dump any overhead brought about by having a working
touch pad.

When you say that you restored, do you mean a complete system refresh or
just using Windows restore to go back in time, but probably not far enough?

Did the restore actually work?

Try booting into Safe Mode
Then use Device Manager to DELETE ALL instances of the pad.

Reboot and see if it finds the driver. If not re-install.

I went back far enough but system restore couldn't complete, I think it was
confused by the error.
