    Either you must install the touchpad driver or, if you have already done this, you must find the setting for it in the Mouse applet found in the Control Panel.

    By that you mean you have the driver installed and the feature enabled? Check that the touchpad driver is working with Task Manager.

    I haven't tried contacting sony, but it seems that the touchpad is acting up. It seems very sensitive as well as the vertical scroll issue. thanks

    does anyone know how to change the touchpad settings?

    i recall a screen which set the surface used to control the cursor and such. But I can't access it using the typical 'control panel'-->'mouse' method
