touchpad problems

[stani85]

hello everyone.
I only just bought my notebook viao BX61MN about three weeks ago. For the past few days my touchpad seems to have a mind on its own. Sometimes it works, other times it doesnt. I can scroll up and down and to the sides but when I tap on it it doesnt register. I'm using mouse at the moment. Just to say, there were no spillages or nothing that could trigger it. Does anyone have the same problem? any solutions?

Hi stani85,

welcome to Club VAIO..

Press the windows key+R to open the Run box type devmgmt.msc and press OK

Click Continue on the User Account Control window.

Expand Mice and other pointing devices.

Is there a pointing device or PS2 mouse listed..?

Hi stani85,

click Start, then all programs, then Vaio Control Centre..

Click Continue on the User Account Control window..

In the Vaio Control Centre expand Keyboard and Mouse..

Then double click on Mouse..

In the Mouse Properties window select the Tapping tab.

In the tapping tab check that tapping is enabled and try adjusting and testing the tapping speed.

therein lies the problem, since upgradint to Windows 7 I cannot get as far as the tapping tab so it does not tap. Any ideas?  Thank you
