    Try clicking on mouse in control panel to see if the Synaptics driver is there. Also, if it's not in start-up it won't show up. Since I use a USB mouse and keyboard when at home I have it disabled from the start-up programs

    Have you tried opening "sounds and audio devices" in the control panel? You can try hardware and troubleshot.
