Re: laptop mouse is gone
The mouse as in the built-in mouse?

Re: laptop mouse is gone
Yes, you mean the mouse icon? What operating system and form factor are you using?

As in the cursor?

Re: laptop mouse is gone
The old solution to this is that your mouse has usually come disconnected somehow, either by breaking or some other means.
But Windows 8 adds a couple of other things. Depending on the computer's form factor, you may have a "pen mode" that cuts out all other input except a stylus. I believe some also have a "touch exclusive" mode.

Re: laptop mouse is gone
What kind of form factor are you working on? Tablet? Laptop? Desktop? If it is a desktop, it is unlikely you have a pen mode.
But Touch Mode is common to all Windows 8, I believe. Check out this thread. You may just have to hit every key to bring it back, since it could be different on each computer.

FN + F5 fixed it. Sim is back.
