Sony Vaio SZ laptop help with touchpad please

I’ve made a really bad mistake. While installing the driver for a new wireless mouse I managed to remove the functions of the touchpad of the laptop. All I can do now on the touchpad is move the pointer around… no tapping or any of it’s other previous functions, like slide and back/forward abilities.

The laptop is a Sony Vaio SZ34GP. The operating system is XP Pro.

Looking forward to some assistance!!

 

You should reload the drivers for this touchpad
The closest match I could find on the Sony website is:

Thanks very much Joelsz. I looked for it myself but didn't come across the link you sent.

 

the SZ series is notrious for having a crappy trackpad - I struggled with mine for years - sent it back to Sony and they said that I needed a new motherboard.

Yeah, right... to fix the track pad.

Well I saved the $699 - and did the black tape fix, and smooth sailing since.

I am hitting all the forums Sony, so hope you read this. This is the only recourse I have for you having tried to jack me for 700 dollars.

This computer is finally operating properly after years. I so wish I had done this earlier. You made me reinstall my system software, all of my software, send the computer in for days - costing me days of downtime - and then refuse to fix a computer that is under warranty -

You tell me that you need to replace the heat sink, mohterboard, fan, and charge me more than the unit is worth to fix your faulty hardware.

Good times.
