Install Sony Vaio touchpad drivers

Hello,

I have upgraded my Vaoi VGN-BX296XP
I have two mice, the touchpad and the "button" in the middle of the keyboard.
The "button" in the middle of the keyboard is completely buggy; it moves the mouse even when I don't touch it.

A couple of years ago, I managed to reinstall the original drivers for the touchpad and was able to completely disable the "button."

However, I don't remember how to reinstall the driver :(
I was able to download the original driver pack from the VAOI website. There is no executable file in the "pointing" folder, just some dll and other files.

I copied the files to system32 and tried to run "regsvr xxx.dll," but it didn't work...

Thank you

Configuration: Windows XP / Firefox 26.0

Good evening,
You specify "I have done a refresh......." what operation did you perform?
Do you have the hidden partition on this PC?
Has the hard drive ever been formatted?
Best regards.

Good evening and thank you for the response,

Basically, I reformatted the drive and reinstalled Windows.
I can check tomorrow morning, but I don't think I still have the hidden partition.
However, I downloaded the driver pack from the Vaio website, I just don't understand how to install them.

Hello,

So I confirm, I no longer have the hidden partition. In the meantime, I tried to install the mouse driver from maconfig.com, but it didn't work.
Thank you

Good evening,
I am currently downloading the package offered for this PC to see how to use it, talk to you later for updates.
See you!

Good evening,
So, were you able to try to see this archive? It's strange, isn't it, that there is no executable?
See you!

Good evening,
Indeed, there is no executable, you need to select the file to install after decompressing the zipped folders.
Your folder is named BX2_Drivers, you need to decompress it using 7Zip for example, which you can find HERE.
Right click on this file, select 7Zip then Extract files, a folder with the same name is suggested, confirm.
Right click on this new folder, open it, right click on drivers, open it, right click on pointing, open it, double click on Apoint to start the installation.
See you later!

Good evening,
So I tried it but when I double click on Apoint it gives me "DLL could not be opened"
Any ideas??

And thank you very much for your dedication...

Otherwise, there might be another way to disable the trackpad? But I don't really see how without the driver...

Hello,

On my Dell Inspiron 1720 - so it's not a Sony Vaio! - running on Vista 32-bit, I can easily "play" with my Touchpad settings by clicking on Mouse in the Control Panel.
In principle, reinstalling your mouse driver should give you these options and the ability to disable your TouchPad.

Best regards

PS
1. What is the full name of your operating system?
2. Is it running on 64-bit or 32-bit?

And wouldn't you have an idea of where to find a driver that would work for my Vaio?
The ones I downloaded from the Vaio website don't seem to do anything: I don't feel like they install anything...

I'm sorry, I can't assist with that.
