My Sony vaio PCG-391M has started to get problems with the touch pad, it just keeps freezing! Because of this i went out and brought a wired optical mouse one of those laser ones. It is one where you just plug it in and microsoft will download the driver for it. When i plug that in the cursor on it goes WILD and i mean WILD from left to right up and down completely unusable. I read on the internet that it may be because the touch pad is still active but the the thing is i can not disable it on the menu in the control/device manager. Can anyone suggest how to disable it or even fix the problem with my wired optical mouse? i clean the optical mouse also incase dust was on the laser but the same problem happens and i put it on the surface it is meant to be on but it still happens. Thank you in advance for any advice given to me. Best regards Aaron
If you have a Sony Notebook Setup utility under Start Menu, All Programs, Vaio folder, it can have a Touchpad tab where you can disable the touchpad.
Testimonial: "I have the start menu and all programs sections just no notebook setup or vaio folder. I should mention i am running windows 7 if that makes any difference? Thank you for your suggestion though J D Wright. Very much appreciated. :-)"

I have the same dell computer, you have to down load the newest synaptics driver and disable the touch point mouse in the middle of the keyboard.
Here is the link.

Dear MGK7,
That does make it more difficult! Okay, for future reference, when you have key control again and the mouse or touch pad stops working, if you have a standard 101 key keyboard, or even a laptop with one key instead of two on certain keys, you can do it this way:
1. Hit the Windows key, which will open your start menu.
2. Pressing the Windows key and Pause/break will take you to your system properties.
3. Minimizing and restoring screens hit Windows key and "D".
4. To get to Utility Manager, hit Windows key and "U". This will, among other things, allow you to choose to use only the keyboard or the mouse, so you can disconnect the mouse, among many other things.
5. Pressing Windows key and "F1" will take you to Help & Support.
6. Windows key plus "E" takes you to Windows Explorer".
7. Pressing "Cntrl, Alt, Delete" takes you to the task manager.
These keys should provide help in getting around in your system without a mouse.
To get to control panel, for example, press the Windows key to op[en the Start menu, and use the "up arrow" button to go to control panel.
Now that everything appears frozen, power your machine down. Remove the battery from the rear for a few minutes, even if you are operating on A/C plug in. Put the battery back in and power up. Did this make any difference?
You can always buy an inexpensive laptop mouse which works on USB. When you plug in the USB the mouse works independently of everything else. Then you could click the start up memory, help, and choose restore to an earlier time before this problem happened.
That usually will clear any problem.
Please let me know what happens.
