I have a gateway nv 79 and the touchpad for the cursor all of a sudden quit working and I can't get the computer to do anything do you have any ideas of how I might be able to get around the problem of not having a mouse

Does the cursor even show up? Do you have an external mouse available? Can you borrow from someone else for a while so that you can at least fix it? Better answers are probably on the way but getting an external mouse (USB) is likely your first step.
