    RESOLVED. If anyone else has the same problem with touchpad, just install Alps touchpad drivers as PS/2 drivers from device manager.


    I downgraded my Vaio G1 from Vista to XP and installed drivers and applications from ftp://ftp.vaio-link.com/pub/OS/XPDOWNGRADE/, except for Alps touchpad driver, because I don't know how.

    There's no installer included, only uninstaller. I'm not sure if I installed the drivers trough device manager for touchpad, but scroll function doesn't work and I would like to have touchpad application, as in Vista.

    Touchpad driver folder has 4 exe files, of which none starts to install anything. How did you install Alps touchpad application (doesn't really matter which Vaio model you have)?

    Thanks.
