some advice for newbies, set up keyboard shortcuts so just in case you turn off your mouse or touchpad you can still bring up the terminal and get to the settings menu.

I made it to the settings menu by pressing alt + f2 then followed your advice to mouse settings. I pressed on tab until it said mouse and hit enter and the mouse switched back on, dang that was a dumb mistake. Now I need to find out how to set up the super key. Thanks for the advice as always and have a great day.
Best regards,

,
ctrl+alt+t doesn't work on my keyboard to bring up a terminal window, I've checked a few forums and all say the same thing so I guess I'm missing something. Any other way to bring up the terminal window without a mouse, touchpad, or keyboard?

These should be done when in the Linux Lite Desktop - not in the grub menu.

Sorry - I meant bottom left, not right.
Try pressing 'Ctrl' and 'Alt' and 'T' at the same time.
A terminal should open up
Code:
[Select]
xfce4-mouse-settings
followed by return

I dual boot Windows 7 and Linux Lite 5.8 on my Compaq Presario CQ56. The Windows key is located @ the bottom left between the alt and fn, and when I press the windows button nothing happens at all. I checked while inside the grub menu but I am not a code master so I don't know what to type, mouse and touchpad get no response. I need to know how to get the mouse and touchpad turned back on, since the windows button does nothing on my machine in Lite is there another solution?

Press the windows key (usually bottom right near Ctrl and Alt)
Begin to type the words
Code:
[Select]
Mouse and Touchpad
until Mouse and Touchpad is shown at the top of the suggested applications.
It should be highlighted
Press Enter

I accidentally turned off my USB logitech mouse in the mouse and touchpad section of settings and now I haven't a way to navigate through my desktop because the touchpad and mouse are turned off. When I restart my machine the mouse works and allows me to sign in but after when the desktop comes up the mouse is off as well as the touchpad. Please help
