Sympatics?

Or do you mean Synaptics?

In any case - to visit the web page of the manufacturer of the laptop computer and the specific page for your system model in their support section drivers & downloads and find the latest driver for your touchpad and install it.  Maybe this will help egt you on the right track:

    Hello

    It looks like the driver for the touchpad stopped working.
    I have no idea why, but I recommend that you install the driver once more.

    Visit the page of the Toshiba UE driver.
    Select your notebook series and download the touchpad driver.
    Then unzip the driver package and install the driver.
    Reboot the laptop and test again.

    2 have you tried to use a different keyboard?

    Method 1.
    Check what happens when you use the on-screen keyboard. If it works fine here so you can check using another keyboard.
     
     
    Method 2.
    If the problem persists using a keyboard screen ion then run the sfc scan and check.
    Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file.
     
    To do this, follow these steps:
    a. open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.
    b. type the following command and press ENTER:
    sfc/scannow

    Hi stephaniechase,
     
    Try the steps listed below and check if it helps you to restore files:
     
    a. do not close Outlook Express if you just delete the folder. Outlook Express can be customized so that all deleted messages are permanently removed at the close of the application, and you should not take this risk. If you have already closed Outlook Express, open again, but know that there is a possibility that the data has been deleted permanently.
     
    b. look at the folders Panel in the upper left corner of the window. Click the plus sign next to the deleted items folder and analyze the content. If you see your deleted folder, right-click on the folder, select 'Restore' and you're all done. If you do not see your deleted folder, go to the next step.
     
    c. click on 'Tools' in the main window and select 'Options '. Click the "Maintenance" tab in the Options window, and then click the button 'storage folder '. This will open a new window with a path to the Summit.
     
    d. right-click on the "Start" button in the lower left of your screen and select "explore". In the explore window, browse folders in the left panel to follow the path of file that you found in the previous step.
     
    e. examine the contents of this file, which is that contains all of your Outlook Express data. Search for a file with the same name as the one you deleted. If you don't see this file, unfortunately, this means that it has been deleted permanently. If see you this file, drag and drop it on the desktop, minimize the Explorer window and go to the next step.
     
    f. close Outlook Express. Once the application is closed, open it again.
     
    g. click in the files Panel, then select "Create a new folder." When the folder opens, give it the same name as the one you deleted. Once this is done, close Outlook Express again.
     
    h. return to your window of the Explorer, which must always be showing the folder where Outlook Express stores its data. Drag the file that you moved to your desktop folder in this folder. A window will appear asking you if you want to replace the existing file of the same name with the new file; Confirm that you would.
     
    i. launch Outlook Express once more. The deleted folder must be restored.

    In addition, you can consult the following articles:

    Hi John - Thanks for the reply. I could not find the download of Camera Raw, just the reference article, very frustrating. I finally managed to find, she and her now installed and all good. The Adobe website is a nightmare to find all downloads since they moved to cloud based apps.
