    Hi,
    Lenovo laptop all of a sudden the cursor has disappeared and usb ports aren't recognising a mouse.
    I've tried to reset the laptop using the keys but I always get to a point where I need to click on something to proceed but can't without the cursor.
    Any way around this?
    Also getting this message.

    Might be a bad memory module. Can you boot into safe mode?

    Use TAB key to move trough "clickable" buttons(SHIFT+TAB to go back), then ENTER once correct option highlighted.

    Thanks lads, I got the cursor back by pressing f8.
    I was then able to restore to an earlier point.
    Laptop is working fine again but windows does play up a lot on it and I only have it around 8 months.
    Fairly annoying.
