Hi tonyboy60,

Assuming you have not already done so I would suggest that you try  re-installing the original touchpad drivers.

There are two versions (both Alps), 7.105.529.104 and 7.105.529.105.One is for 64 Bit and the other for 32Bit - make sure you download the correct version for your OS.

Hi tonyboy60,

This model was released in January 2011.

If you click the support tab at the top of this page, select Contact Sony Support and click Vaio and Computing you will be prompted to enter your serial number. If the only contact option given is the out of warranty number (0905 0310006) it is no longer in warranty.

Hi, thanks for that info, i get contact sony support, phone support or email.do you get 2 years warranty?  Thanks Tony

[rich912]

General warranty if purchased in the Uk is 12 months but I believe some configured models have 24 months.

As you have email contact available I suggest that you ask when the warranty expires.

Hi Tony,

This could possibly be a driver problem but I have very limited knowledge on this. I suggest that, in order to get best help, you start a new thread as anyone that may be able to contribute on this may miss your post.

If this problem has started since updating the touchpad driver then make sure that you installed the correct version for your OS – i.e. 32 or 64 Bit. You could try a (touchpad) driver rollback to see whether this resolves the issue.
