    Hi, i seem to be getting a code 24 for my touchpad driver when i try to re-install as i have been having trouble with it and although the software is there on my vaio laptop it seems it cannot install it, i have windows vista and am wondering if this is the problem. a usb mouse works fine. please go easy on the tech talk as i am not that savvy!

    any help would be much appreciated!

My Vaio touchpad started behaving strange. I could move the curser, but no response on left or right click or double tap. Also found that in any search field or user name fields, the computer would just type endless 9's. My wireless mouse could operate the left and right click buttons, but not move the curser. A suggestion to get the mousepad operating again was to touch any key on the keyboard. This allowed it to function again. Final solution was to remove the battery, then hold down the start key for about a minute, reinsert the battery and start it up. It seems to have resolved the problem. I have a 3 month only laptop with Windows 7 already installed. Hope this helps.

Nope..those touchpads get touchy..of course..

ok..then you may have to use a usb mouse, and then replace the palm rest, which is what carries that touchpad..figure around 200 to 250

SOURCE: replace wireless card on sony vaio vgn-n130g

usually there are screws coming upward from the bottom to remove the keyboard,then you have to remove the palmrest which the touchpad is integrated into.

Hello, if your touch pad is diabled you need to enble it from VAIO Control Center. You need connect a external mouse in order to follow the steps easily: Click Start, All Programs, and VAIO Control Center. From there you need look for Touch Pad > enable it.
