Sony Vaio VGN-BX665P Touchpad woes and solution
Well like many, sony users, windows 7 is the pits of support from Sony themselves
their basic answer is, if you ran the "hardware verification and there is incompatibilities then don't install windows 7 as we wont make new drivers for it"
situation:
Windows 7 64 Bits, Sony Viao VGN-BX series Laptop
Touchpad hardware failure to work,
identified in Hardware Manager as : ACPI\SNY900D
Now this is ALPS touchpad, after 5 days of scouring the internet for a possible solution I derived synaptec was making drivers for this touchpad, finally found one that works (unlike newers laptops mentioned here elsewere) with this laptop
and figured I would share the information:
solution is easy : DriverPack Touchpad_Mouse 10.03 for Windows Vista (x64) | DriverPacks.net
download this file, unzip it then goto :
DP_Touchpad_Mouse_wnt6-x64_1003\x64\3\Touchpad_Mouse\Synaptics\2 and run setup, reboot when done and your touchpad will work
cheers.
