As the title states the mouse cursor on my laptop isn't moving but the mouse buttons still work. I'm not sure what to do. I have tested the touchpad on Windows and it works fine.
My laptop is a HP Envy

Edit
Turns out that a USB Mouse does work but I have yet to find out why my TrackPad stopped working.

Try to update software... I had this problem, and all I know about it is that it is related to the default PS/2 driver on 14.04 (it don't support SynPS/2 -I have the same touchpad-). You can confirm it by using an USB external mouse: it will work.
Then, go to terminal:
Enter your password, wait for updates. Reboot... if your Synaptics touchpad still don't work, then:
Enter your password, wait for updates... with this packages you will get also some extras like Microsoft fonts. So you will see a license agreement on terminal... use the 'TAB' button on keyboard to select the 'Ok' option and press Enter.
Once your system is updated, reboot... your touchpad should work after it.
