I am having difficulties with my touchpad drivers on my Vaio PCG-F590.
There is supposed to be a touchpad driver for this Alps unit on the Sony
site which automatically installs drivers with an exclamation mark in the
Device manager. Even if installed in safe mode. And suspiciously it calls
this internal touchpad a USB HID device, which doesn't sound right. The
touch pad works with the internal windows PS2 drivers but it is so sensitive
that the cursor jumps all over the place in normal use while typing
I am using Windows XP Pro
There was a rumour of all these drivers being on some site called
http/db.rfi.de (which seems to have changed its address since it was last
mentioned on these boards).
Does anyone know how to get this Touchpad to work or access this German site
to download drivers for this computer please? I am also having some
difficulty with the keyboard: If you touch some keys accidentally it often
closes a window (losing all work you are doing) or opens one or jumps to
some esoteric function which is indicative of the drivers not being
installed properly. Sony is of course no help at all beyond condescending
to tell me that the Touchpad is an Alps on whose site there do not appear to
be drivers even if I COULD identify the model
