Alps touchpad preventing standby

[BillDavies]

Hi All,

I'm running XP SP2 on a PCG-TR1MP. When I attempt to put the machine into standby, XP tells me it can't because "the device driver for the 'Alps-Pointing-device' is preventing the machine from entering standby."

So far, I've tried:
1. updating the driver
2. turning off hibernation in power properties, rebooting, and turning hibernation back on
3. removing the driver and letting XP 'find' the touchpad

Any ideas? I'll be using the machine to present at a conference soon and bringing it out of standby would be a lot neater than having everyone hang around while it boots from cold.

Cheers,

Bill
