Touchpad not working on vaio VGN-NR310E

[Jiminyv]

Hello

i recently installed windows 7 ultimate 64-bit on my laptop and my mousepad does not work. i have researched this site and read other threads of similar problems, and have tried the new ALPS driver for windows 7, but when i try and run the setup it tells me that it cannot run on my OS. Im using a usb mouse right now.

Model is VGN-NR310E

Thank You

Thanks for the reply, i tried what you said, even with all 3 vista options in the compatibility mode menu, and it still gives me a pop up that says, "You have to run the 64-bit version of DPinst.exe on this machine.


is there any other options?

This looked so promising! but no bones. i just dont understand. it installed and in the mouse menus, it has all the settings and stuff and it actually says alps touchpad now too. i cant for the life of me find a setting to turn it on or off! :shock:

Did you do this.

Run the "setup.exe" inside the driver package and reboot as required.

That should be the one, I can't believe it's not working.

yes, i did do that. it went through all the setup menus and then restarted.

about to try the one in the above post, i will report back.

right now i am seriously considering reinstalling vista home premium back on the machine...


*update*

the above option did not work either. looks like im going back to vista home, i would imagine that would tell me if i had a bad touchpad...
