Sony Vaio Alps Touchpad
My Sony Vaio Alps Touchpad is driving me insane. At some point, I'm going to have to install a different driver and see if it helps. I'm currently using the following driver:
5.3.512.4 (dated 5/17/2005). There is some thought that I should try these drivers instead. Apparently, some Alps touchpad software allows you to set "Tap off when typing", which would be great. But I'm not clear how to get into the "Alps touchpad control panel".
Apparently, the 5.3.510.9a has a "tap off while typing" option, which would be nice. Here's the 5.3.510.9a driver for the Sony Vaio PCG-V505AP from Sony's UK website.

Update: Last time I downloaded this file (1/24/2010) I found it here.
I've also copied it to my server: http://www.peeniewallie.com/drivers/MTD_Alps_535109a.exe
