    Hi,

    I am running the E6400 on Vista Ultimate x64 with the 7.102.101.216 trackpad drivers.

    Every so often (probably once week) the trackpad will stop functioning: the buttons keep working but the pointer does not move. At that point the only thing I can do is to shut down and reboot. There doesn't seem anything systematic about what I am doing before to trigger this.

    I normally have the pointing stick switched off, I've turned it back on to see how that interacts.

    Does anyone else see this behaviour?

    It appears that when the trackpad dies, the pointing stick keeps on working.

    I have tried going in to the Trackpad driver in the control panel and disabling and re-enabling it, but it has not helped.

    Yes, it is an Alps. I see from your link that this happens all too frequently with no solution.

    I thought so. This problem is way too common with alps touchpads and dell does not have a solution either.
