My laptops touchpad stopped working :(

As the title says...I'm running on a Sony Vaio VGN-FS215B and the touchpad has stopped working. I tried going to control panel, VAIO Control Center, And Enabling the Built in pointing device option but nothing happened.

Please help

And one more question...will the laptop still work if I upgrade to vista?

EDIT: Please look below for updated version.

 

Is apoint.exe running?

 

No and I can't seem to get it to run either

Any idea why?

oh and another thing...I tried connecting my pen drive and it won't show up in my computer...

Dam laptop...what the hell is wrong with it??

 

Ok I reinstalled windows but I keep getting this error when I try to run apoint.exe "could not open ddl"

Whats up with that?

 

Hi Luke,

If you're doing a clean reinstall of XP (I'm assuming this since you've not provided any other info.) there's quite a few things to install on the clean machine before proceeding with your drivers.

I had a lot of issues myself and reinstalled my system at least twice now.

Check out Sony's tech website and a couple of the really good posts here especially those with "Clean install on XP/Vista" etc.

They point out the crucial stuff to do.

 

Ok so yes I reinstalled a fresh copy of windows.

And here are some troubles I'm having.

No sound...
And the touchpad isn't working...

I reinstalled the drivers again and that still didn't work.

I downloaded a fresh copy of the drivers and installed those, but I still got the same problem.

I have no idea why the sound isn't working...I'm pretty sure its all turned up and stuff.

And whenever I go to install the pointing driver, I get an error saying " could not open ddl"

Please help!
