    have you tried plugging in a USB mouse, and if it works then try reinstalling the touchpad's drivers

    I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple :D

    If it hangs on boot up then it's trying, unsuccesfully, to load something.

    Does <Ctrl><Alt><Del> bring up the Taskmanager?

    If so there will probably be a "non-responding" application. Stop it and see what happens.
