No. Did not work. Any other options?

Yes— start here:

To trouble shoot further you can:

  —Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262

  Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache,  etc.  Login and test. Reboot and test as caches get rebuilt.

In Safe mode third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled, it removes malware, etc hampering smooth operation, however a  reboot will put it back to normal mode.

This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode. 

 —Test issue in another user (or guest user) account  https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204443

  This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.

Track Pad on MacBook pro sort of "quit working". No arrow. Adjusted settings; did a shut off, turn on. I still cannot copy and paste. I can highlight text but when I double click to copy it goes back to plain text.

Help. I never knew how much I copied and pasted.

Reboot the machine and try again.
