Introduction: Disable Touchpad on Sony Vaio Laptop After Clean Windows 7 Install Laptop touchpads are the cause of 'jumping cursor' syndrome. You can accidentally brush the touchpad with your palm while typing, causing cursor to jump around the screen.

The other day while I was clearing some space on my Sony Vaio PCG-71312L, I accidentally deleted the touchpad's driver. The mouse itself is fine, it's just that the scrolling is not working.

I looked around for the CD that came with the laptop, but couldn't find it. Also, I tried searching for the drivers, but with no success. Can someone point me in the right direction?

I am looking for a solution that doesn't involve installing softwares, the driver will suffice.

Most Sony laptops use Alps touchpads. This is a link to a WIN7 64 bit driver package ALPS Windows 7 x64 You should be able to find an x86 driver with a bit of digging at Sony Support as mentioned by @slhck

Sometimes you have driver but it's not work for various issues. In my case i don't know why touch panel did stop to response on some actions like scrolling page when touching corners. I searched and finally this simple guide movie helped me. you just need to get default setup settings if you have same trouble. this video must be help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkgBSL6Z4BUGood Luck.

I assume you are using Windows (even though you didn't say so) since you've tagged the questions with that OS. The exact method to check or enable this will depend on the exact model you have - but the principles are the same for all.

First - how do you know it does NOT work now? Typically you stroke the far-right edge of the touchpad for vertical scrolling and the bottom edge for horizontal. Try it - you may find it already works.

Some touch pads support two-finger scrolling - for that you use two fingers slightly separated anywhere on the touchpad and stroke in the direction you want to scroll.

Is it working in some programs and not others? From your question, I gather it's not working at all - correct?

Sony Vaio Touchpad Scroll Problem

If it is not working anywhere (and you've tried my suggestions above), in Control Panel, you need to find the dialogue that controls the touch pad. Usually this is a tab on the Mouse Properties (you can search for it in Control Panel - or click on Hardware and Sound and then on Mouse). Find the section for the touchpad and then you should have options to enable the touchpad, enable scrolling, set the scrolling region, etc. Once you find it, it's pretty self-evident how to set it.

If you verify that the settings are all correct and it still doesn't work - you may have a hardware fault.

Hope that helps,

In Control Panel/Mouse I was able to activate scrolling under multitouch functions.

I just found the solution for enabling scroll for VAIO.

  1. Click 'Start'
  2. Go to Control Panel
  3. Select 'Hardware and Sound'
  4. Select mouse (under 'Devices and Printers')
  5. Select the 'Hardware' tab
  6. Double click on 'Alps pointing device'
  7. Click on 'Change Settings'
  8. Select the 'Driver' tab
  9. Update driver.

The touchpad driver will be updated. You will need to restart your PC.

Scrolling should start working.

Sony Vaio Touchpad Scroll Not Working

I just upgraded my Sony Vaio laptop’s OS to Windows 10. Couldn’t do any vertical scrolling.

Went to the mouse configuration, advanced and there I found the option to use two fingers a bit separated in the middle to scroll up or down or use only one finger in one side of the panel.

Sony Vaio Driver Update Tool

You have to select either option and then try it out. No need to download anything or do something fancy.
