Uninstall/Reinstall Touchpad



QUESTION:

My touch pad is acting erratically. I'm not sure if it is a hardware or software problem but I would like to uninstall and then reinstall the touchpad software to see if it will fix the problem.

I've heard that if I uninstall it and reboot Win7 will automatically reinstall it. Is that true? Or can I reinstall from the Sony's software website or from the recovery disc?


SOLUTION:

If you uninstall the touch pad driver from device manager then the Microsoft In-box driver will be installed after rebooting the computer. We would recommend that we reinstall the touch pad driver using the sony driver and then follow the below steps to help prevent the erratic movement.
