I have a Toshiba Satellite C850 and my touchpad has stopped working ive tried the FN + F5 (Thats the mouse enabler on a toshiba) and ive also tried FN + F9 just in case, ive gone through all the mouse settings and everything is how it should be. My curser only works when I have a mouse in the USB port any idea on how to enable my mouse?

You could try installing the latest Synaptic-Touchpad driver in Device Manager, if that does not work roll it back to an earlier one.
If that fails try this is from the Toshiba forum.
forums.toshiba.com/t5/Keyboards-Touchpads/Solved-Synaptic-Touchpad-not-working.
1. Turn computer off. Remove all attachments and the battery. Press power button for 15 seconds. Replace power connection and battery. Start Computer and press F2 at the Toshiba splash screen to get into Setup. Press F9 to reset defaults. Press F10 to save changes and exit and answer yes to complete. Computer will restart.
2. If that doesn't work, do a System Restore back to a day when the touchpad was working.
Remember to back up all your Data before resetting (just in case it writes over all your hard drive!)
Hope this works for you, post a comment if not so I & others resding this can try again!
The system restore worked thanks so much :)
