    Hello all SZ owners :)

    One solution mentioned on NBR was the improved insulation - but there may be another one.

    Or maybe the "mad mouse" is static and the inverted mouse is something else.

    My laptop was gettig very bad with the inverted mouse - and it didn't seem to be static related.

    I just did some googling - http://www.techsupportforum.com/har...t/123442-solved-vaio-touchpad-reversed-2.html this seemed promising (the detailed driver analysis for XP) - unistalling of the touchpad driver to be specfic :)

    I ujst did it and my mouse is no longer inverted - of course I loose some functionaltiy too (scrolling etc.)
    But tapping works, and clicking too :) and moving the mouse.

    I hope I'll remember to drop back in at a later date to tell you how it works out - it the mouse no longer inverts without the Alps driver.

    My SZ is a SZ71VN/X

    Edit:
    No, the inverted mouse is back :(

    On another note - its possible that Vaio Alps touchpad drivers are outdated.

    There's an updated touchpad part number for most SZ models. I believe that this issue was the reason behind this update.

    I'v heard that mentioned too.

    But I'll stick with m isolated touchpad for now :)

    (Did that after drivers weren't responsible)

    I had this problem too. When I uninstalled my AOL software it went away completely. I think it was a conflict between drivers at start up.

    I susect its a multitude of factors.

    Static, drivers etc.

    I haven't had that problem since Isolated my toupad from the palmrests.
