Sony Vaio Touchpad  

I am also having problems with the scrolling capabilities on my Alps Touchpad.
I recently did a clean install from Vista Home Premium 32-bit to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. The touchpad was originally listed as PS2 device but I installed a Alps driver for 64 bit systems so now it is registering correctly but I still have no scrolling function.

I tried the solution offered here: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/...f-a1235aa7c4f0 but it appears to be for 32-bit system and also did not restore scroll function.

I also tried installing the original drivers in compatibility mode without success.

Any ideas? I'm fresh out.
Other than buying a USB mouse, I can only think to revert back to 32 bit.


Oh, sorry, I have a VGN-FZ4000
Any help much appreciated!

Hi KingKhan786. I have the same problem with my Sony Vaio VGN-CS36GJ laptop. I tried installing the Synaptics Pointing Driver but this just disables my touchpad. How were you able to resolve this?

Hi there. Its been a while now but i wrote down some of the steps i had to take to resolve the problem. Here they are:

1. Download all sony drivers for vista
2. Install Vaio Event Service
3. Reboot
4. Install SOny Dll Utilities
5. Reboot
6. Install Sony Shared Library
7. Reboot again. Everything should be working now.

i've just had this issue also, and the quick fix is to install this vista ultimate x64 alps driver from the sony site: View Document

hope this helps others

Use a mouse to carry out the task.

Start > All Programs > [COLOR=#3485bd !important][COLOR=#3485BD ! important]Vaio[/COLOR][/COLOR] Control Center > Keyboard and Mouse > Pointing Device > Enable > Apply > OK.

I struggled for hours troubleshooting, deleting and reinstalling drivers, 2 System restores,,, oy!!! Until I came across this fix on another forum. Hope this helps any new lost souls along the way.
