I have a Sony VAIO VPCEH. The track pad works upon bootup for about 2-3 minutes after Windows starts. It then abruptly stops working.
I've already tried disabling everything in the startup menu.
Has anyone else encountered a similar problem? If so, how was it resolved?
Saginaw if you can get into safe mode use these for starters

Hello, have a look at this post and try that person's solution.
Touch pad not working
It seems that model has this problem, from Google:

A quick and definitive test:
Download Ubuntu and save it on a USB stick. Boot into Ubuntu (There are 2 options, you do not need to install it. Just run it from the stick).
If the trackpad works in Ubuntu then you know it is a Windows or driver problem.
If it does not work in Ubuntu then you know it is a hardware problem.
After all this time, I figured out why the track pad wasn't working.
The track pad on/off isn't in Windows Control Panel. It's at Start/All Programs/VAIO Control Center/Keyboard & Mouse/Pointing Devices.
I must have disabled it there when I first got the computer and completely forgot about it.
Sometimes we are our own worst enemy, huh? Not poking fun, I've done a lot of stuff like that, such as forgetting to flip the power button on a PSU and wonder why it won't start.
