USB Mouse turned off in settings

[vint]

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

Press the windows key (usually bottom right near Ctrl and Alt)
Begin to type the words

Code:

Mouse and Touchpad

until Mouse and Touchpad is shown at the top of the suggested applications.
It should be highlighted
Press Enter

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?

Sorry - I meant bottom left, not right.

Try pressing 'Ctrl' and 'Alt' and 'T' at the same time.

A terminal should open up

Code:

xfce4-mouse-settings

followed by return

I will give it a try, I'll have to find out why the windows key isn't the super key later

[stevef]

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

Nothing happened at all

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?

I made it to the mouse and touch pad settings page how do I turn on the mouse with the keyboard?
